This is more than just a lighthouse! It’s also a store and museum, with wonderful photo opportunities! As soon as you enter the lighthouse you step into a wonderful little boutique. They sell books, jewelry, antique replicas and many other souvenirs. This is also where you can purchase tickets to climb to the top. As you climb the stairs, the lighthouse turns into a museum. On each landing (and there are several) you will find displays and placards that tell you about the history of the area. It’s a very interesting walk through time, and it helps to break up the climb to the top (lol). Once at the top you will find another gift shop. This one is bigger and has a slightly different selection that includes collectible, apparel, children’s toys and much more. As you enjoy browsing the store, don’t forget to look up! There you will find the beautiful beacon! For all the souvenirs and museum pictures, let us not forget this is an actual working lighthouse. And that beacon is quite a sight, only rivaled by the 360° views from the gallery! Note: The lighthouse offers discounts, so inquire when buying your tickets

Small little charming place. But be prepared to bring some cash with you, as a lot places didn’t take cards, but there are ATM’s all over the place. Very nice scenic views on the way in. We paid $9 cash only at the gate to get in, it said for parking. But we could not find a parking slot, after going around and around for 10 minutes and it was hot! We ended up paying $10 for valet Parking (cash), which was a little far from the actual central area. We also paid $5.95 per person to climb the lighthouse. There a lot of historical pictures and stuff throughout the lighthouse on the way up. Once up at the top we took great pictures and enjoyed the scene. The pier was also nice to walk on and take pictures. That made it worth it. The place has a lot of small shops and restaurants. We had lunch at the Crazy Crab, food was good. Make sure you stay hydrated if you’re visiting in a hot summer day though. I totally recommend this if you need to take a break from the beach.

This was our 1st time visiting a lighthouse and we had an awesome experience. We came to the area to attend the HHI Seafood fest which will be a tradition now. The walk up & down the lighthouse was easy. They have two cute little gift shops w/no affiliation so if you like something upstairs then buy while still there or you'll be walking up again. FYI: check out the shop downstairs first so you get an idea of their offerings. Be sure to bring your camera as the view is amazing. Also bring quarters for the kids to make their own souvenir. The gift shop upstairs sells the holders for the souvenir coins ($6-$10) if I recall. We loved Hilton Head so much that we contacted a realtor to view a property. HHI is our new retreat and fam fave. There's nominal entry fee and well worth the experience. This is exclusive of the parking pass you pay to enter Harbourtowne. The lighthouse is already on our to do list for the summer.

Love this Place! Second time back in two years. Got to do the lighthouse this time. Two new hip replacements a year and a half go, allowed me the opportunity to climb the lighthouse this time. So glad I did.....loved it! Great museum all along the climb to the top. U S Coast Guard exhibits, golf history of the area during the building of the lighthouse in 1969....so much info. Then, the views from the top of the lighthouse, are out of this world.....one vie is straight up up the 18 hole of the golf course from across the harbor an then, all the water views from there are absolutely gorgeous! If your ever down to Harbour Town, the lighthouse is the Main attraction. Well worth it. A lot of shops and selection of food and ice cream shops to try as well. The is a $9.00 per vehicle fee, to access to Harbour Town on the way in per day, just to be aware of. But, it's well worth it.
