Islanders Beach Park — Attraction in Hilton Head Island

Islander's Beach Park offers everything you need for a family with kids...a clean playground, a nice eating gazibo, beautiful beach access and clean restrooms.

We visit Hilton Head 6-8 times a year and we almost always make at least one trip to Islander's Beach Park because the kids love the playground, the swings, the gazibo eating area and the semi-private beach access.

The restrooms are consistently cleaned plus the beach access has a nice hard blue rubber mat that takes anyone with a stroller or rolling beach buggy straight on to the harder sand if the beach.

The playground us very well maintained and has a well deesigned flow, allowing parents to easily watch their kids, even if they have multiple that all like different things (like our three).

The trees and open ground are great for kicking a ball with the kids, while having full visibility to the kids on the playground and the swings. Just be careful not to kick the ball too high or it could get stuck in a tree (see attached photo), that might take 50-60 throws of a stick to get down (notice the full action picture attached...I did finally get it down).

The kids also love the cool alligator bike rack when you approach the steps to the beach access (see photos attached). The beach view from the beach access is beautiful and the ramp is well-maintained along with the rinse off area, avoiding splinters even if you or the kids choose not to wear shoes (we choose to pick our battles with the kids).

This is definitely one of our favorite parks and the paid parking is definitely worth it, but remember to bring quarters since they haven't converted to...

2025-10-07 We've moved our Tuesday evening jam sessions earlier to compensate for it getting dark earlier. We're there from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. for the rest of October.

The park continues to improve. It's a lovely spot under the pavilion in the and the playground.

Our Hilton Head beaches are amazing. 🩵🌻🌴🌻🩵

2025-07-22 Have another wonderful jam session this afternoon. 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Got caught in the rain just as we were doing the last song.

The town continues to do improvements to the park. It's going to be delightful when they get it done.

Tuesday evening Jam Sessions ROCK!

Our Hilton Head Jammers group is back at Islanders' Beach under The pavilion each Tuesday evening, right now from 4:30 to 6:30 pm and we will move to 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in another few weeks when it gets later. It's a wonderful few hours of music and friendship. And the park is awesome and the beach is amazing.

Tonight was a bit strange. We canceled playing because of the tornado watch and the rains. I swung by and there was no car in the parking lot, it was rather eerie. Better safe than sorry.

I am thankful the Islanders have a place to go.

2023-05-09 - still as beautiful as ever. Signing up for the new passes online worked smoothly and easily and I immediately had a confirmation by email. I'm hoping the change in the way the passes are tracked works out. Only time...

Found the beach only because my husband said, "Look up Handicap accessible beach in Hilton Head." (BEST IDEA OF THE YEAR AWARD GOES TO) Broke my ankle a little over a week ago and was not going to cancel our trip meant for mostly our daughter! Tips ✅ Go before 10am during holidays ✅ Bring $1.75 for meter parking if you're an out of tower and it only takes quarters 🙄(thankfully I had some) (gives you 1hr 45mins) ✅ Extra toys for children available ✅ Boardwalk all the way up to the beach ✅ Clean Bathroom ✅ Showers ✅ Sitting areas to rest from the walk to and from the beach

We really enjoyed the beach! It's better for an auto wheelchair or someone pushing you, the inclines and declines are a bit much.

My husband is pro "for the culture" and we were the only chocolate chips in a bag full of vanilla cookies🤣. He really wanted to go to another location, however he went for my sake, so if you are disabled via walking, THIS IS AN 👌🏾 EXCELLENT LOCATION! I was so happy to go and just be at the beach, even though I couldn't go...
