Hilton Head in February is usually quiet. Excepting the days around President’s Day weekend, visitor numbers are still low, with most vacationers holding off for the more consistently warmer weather of spring. If you are looking for a winter break, accommodation discounts are sometimes possible to find this month, especially for stays of at least a week.
A popular February event is the Hilton Head Island Seafood Festival. Other events this month include a marathon and half marathon, Restaurant Week, and the month-long Hilton Head Island Gullah Celebration, offering a series of events focused on the food, music, history and culture of the coastal Gullah people.
February weather in Hilton Head is unpredictable. While it is possible to get warm weather in the 70s or 80s at this time of year, it absolutely cannot be relied upon. Typical highs are in the 50s and 60s, and some days can be colder still. A week long visit in February could as easily meet with a week of cold and rainy weather as with warm, sunny days into the 80s.
You will generally have access to almost the full range of Hilton Head’s things to do in February, although daily activities are likely to depend on the weather.
Golfing, tennis, bike rentals and other outdoor activities such as fishing charters and dolphin tours are ideal on warmer days. On rainy or colder days, there is a choice of indoor activities such as a visit to the Coastal Discovery Museum, local art galleries, shopping, bars or the historic attractions at nearby Bluffton, Beaufort or Savannah.
