Hilton Head in March is starting to show a bit more activity after the winter lull in events, and there should be something on either in Hilton Head or nearby most weekends.
The island is fairly busy all through March, but the crowds of spring vacationers don’t usually arrive until toward the end of the month. Accommodation rates are generally reasonable, and there shouldn’t be too much difficulty getting reservations at the island’s restaurants through most of March.
The most popular March events in Hilton Head include the annual St Patrick’s Day Parade and the Hilton Head Island Wine & Food Festival, with other food festivals, heritage events and spring celebrations throughout the month.
March weather in Hilton Head is generally warmer than the winter months, but remains quite variable. You could get warm and sunny weather, with temperatures into the 70s, but there is a possibility of cooler, overcast weather.
March is not usually beach weather in South Carolina in terms of sunbathing and ocean swimming, although most outdoor activities are available and enjoyable this month: kayaking, paddle boarding, boat tours, fishing, bike riding, golfing, and so on.
Beaufort and Savannah are excellent choices for a day trip, especially toward the end of the month when the azaleas should usually be in bloom.
