Things To Do In Hilton Head In August

Hilton Head in August attracts many families with children, who flock to the island’s beaches and family-friendly resorts every summer. If you are not tied to the school vacation schedule, it can be best to choose a different time of year to visit, when the weather is less oppressive and the crowds are typically smaller.

For the first couple of weeks of August, it is still peak season at Hilton Head, with a great many visitors and prices to match. From the middle of the month, most local schools are back in session and visitor levels drop off, although the biggest fall in crowds comes after Labor Day.

Despite the ocean breezes, August weather in Hilton Head is generally characterized by its high heat and humidity, with temperatures often reaching the 90s. The warm ocean offers little relief, and afternoon thunderstorms and rain showers are common, alongside a risk of hurricanes extending into the fall.

Things to do in Hilton Head in August are mostly centered around the island’s miles of sandy beaches: swimming, watersports such as kayaking, jet skiing and parasailing, or just relaxing on the beach or by the pool. Hiking, biking and golfing are a possibility during the cooler mornings and evenings.
