We like The Sea Shack off Pope Avenue, Carolina Crab Companyoff Palmetto Bay Road, and Nick’s Steak & Seafood off William Hilton Parkway just to name a few. There are multiple seafood options off every exit.

Shipyard Beach Access is reached via William Hilton Parkway, as are Singleton Beach, Folly Field Beach, and Islanders Beach. Shipyard Beach Access is inside the gated community, so be sure you have a pass if you’re planning to go there.įor amazing pizza, try Local Pie, accessible from both the Pope Avenue and 278 exits, or Mellow Mushroom, which can be reached from either the Greenwood Avenue/Sea Pines exit or the Pope Avenue exit. If you’re headed to Coligny Beach, take the Pope Avenue exit toward the south end of the island. Whole Foods and Fresh Market can be reached via William Hilton Parkway (Highway 278), as can Kroger and others. The Piggly Wiggly, where I’m told you can get the BEST fresh, locally caught seafood, is in Coligny Plaza, accessible from the Pope Avenue exit. Looking for Publix? Take the Palmetto Bay Road/Cross Island Parkway exit. Harris Teeter is accessible from the Pope Avenue/Coligny Beach exit. There are plenty of options for picking up essentials on the island. Knowing which exit leads to which destination will be helpful. Whether you’re trying to get to the beach, looking for your resort, hoping to enjoy some of the many island activities, or just making a quick grocery run, chances are, you’re going to encounter the Sea Pines Circle. Once you’ve mastered the rules of the circle, your options are plentiful.

Just take another lap around the circle until you reach your desired destination road. Traffic will flow more easily through the circle if people waiting to enter know that others are going to exit.

The good news is, with a little guidance and a few quick tips, you’ll be navigating this infrastructural phenomenon like a pro in no time. For those of you unfamiliar with this “traffic circle” or “round-a-bout”, Sea Pines Circle can be a bit overwhelming. Along with all the usual trials that come with moving to a new place, Hilton Head Island presented a particularly confusing new normal for me, The Sea Pines Circle. He and I and our 7-year-old son moved from Michigan to Hilton Head less than 3 months ago, in May 2021. It’s probably one of the reasons I chose the human equivalent of a GPS as my life partner. I can get lost in the most familiar places places I’ve visited over and over. That wouldn’t be at all surprising if you knew me. I’ve always found traffic circles to be confusing.
