Overall rating: 4.7…read more Beautiful spot for pictures.. but only that? I planned to stay maybe 2-3 hrs and lasted 30 minutes. The pictures are beautiful but I'm not sure if I'd come again. The wagon also only drops at the end, versus being a halfway point. Really beautiful trees but there are tons of them in town as well. I do wish there was more background on the land or history. The ruin building was a bit random.

We wanted…read moresomewhere scenic to take a long walk and get out of the city for a bit, and it was great for that. The oak-lined entrance is beautiful and definitely worth seeing at least once. That said, I'd be lying if I said it totally lived up to the hype. It felt a little underwhelming overall, especially considering how long the walk is. Bring water -- seriously. If I did it again (and I absolutely will not), I'd probably rent bikes instead of walking the whole thing. I actually love history, so I was expecting to be more engaged by the historical side of it, but it just didn't really do it for me. I almost feel bad about it. In all fairness - half the site was closed so maybe I just got unlucky that day. The crowd also killed the vibe. It was the worst kind of tourist energy.

I've been coming to Hilton Head Island for over a decade and learned two things this visit that I…read moredid not know: 1) The Hilton Head Rear Range Light EXISTS when I previously had no clue of its existence AND is the island's only true lighthouse. 2) The lighthouse in Harbour Town, on the southern end of Hilton Head Island is actually a faux lighthouse! I believe someone said it was outfitted for a movie. The Hilton Head Island Rear Range Lighthouse was built in 1879, activated in 1880 and is also known as the Leamington Lighthouse. It is the only historic lighthouse on Hilton Head Island. It stands 92-feet tall and shares its space with one of the oldest living LIVE OAK TREES on Hilton Head Island. It was constructed along with a second "front" lighthouse to guide vessels into Port Royal Sound. The lighthouse website says its light was once visible from 15 miles away. It was deactivated in 1932, but served as a lookout tower for enemy ships during World War II. It was restored in 1985 and renovated again in September of 2019. REAR RANGE LIGHTHOUSE FACTS FROM WEBSITE: * Originally, a lighthouse was proposed as far back as 1854, but the price of the land was too high. * Two lighthouses were eventually built on Hilton Head Island in 1863. The rear light was blown down in 1869. ​* Current lighthouse was built as part of a pair in 1879 for $40,000. * Lighthouse Board decided to delay activation of the lights until August 1, 1881, when the range lights on nearby Parris Island would be complete. ​* The lantern and Watch Room at the top were originally built of cypress wood. The range light was originally fixed red. In 1893, the original Hains Oil lamps were replaced with Funck-Heap lamps. The Lantern Room is above the Watch Room, and housed a Fresnel Lens. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO - You must attain a day pass at the Palmetto Dunes Guard House to access the lighthouse, since it is in a private gated community. There is currently no fee for the pass, but you are also not allowed to park on the lawn near the lighthouse entrance. FINAL THOUGHTS If you are a fan of lighthouses, this one should be on your list! Sharing the same property is a gorgeous live oak tree said to be one of the oldest trees of its kind on the island. Guestimated at around 450 years old. 2020 / 114

One of the oldest lighthouses, if not the oldest lighthouse on HHI. Found out about this one after…read moreI left town last year. Figured I'd find it on this trip. So I googled it and got the directions. I grabbed my lighthouse partner and we went over! It's on a golf course inside of a gated community, so make sure you stop at the guard station. They're pretty friendly. If it wasn't for them, I probably would have gotten lost in there. The only downside is that you can't go up!

Forsyth Park is a must visit when I'm in Savannah…read more It is such a beautiful spot for a relaxing stroll, photos, people watching, and just taking in the city. The fountain is iconic, the trees and Spanish moss are gorgeous, and the shaded walking paths make it easy to slow down and enjoy the park.

Definitely worth stopping by, even if it's just for a quick walk and a few photos.

The Old Sorrel-Weed House ghost tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Savannah! I went with…read moremy girlfriend and two friends, and everyone in our party loved the experience. The tour lasted about two hours, and with only around 12 people in our group, it felt intimate without being overcrowded. Our guide did a fantastic job balancing Savannah's darker history with the paranormal stories surrounding the house. Each time we entered a new room, we were given a quick history of the space, along with an explanation of why paranormal activity might exist there or be attached to a particular object. Afterward, we had time to explore, take pictures, and attempt to communicate with anything that may have remained behind. The basement was easily my favorite part--and definitely the scariest. It has an entirely different atmosphere from the rest of the house, and you can feel the energy shift the moment you walk downstairs. My only complaint was that there wasn't a guest restroom inside during our visit, so I strongly recommend using one before the tour begins. At one point, I had to run across the street to the bar we had visited earlier. When I returned, the very kind woman working in the gift shop escorted me into the basement to wait for my group to catch up. This left me alone in the basement for approximately five minutes. Almost immediately, I felt a powerful energy settle over me. Something beckoned me toward a coffin in one of the rooms, urging me to touch it. I resisted, but then the energy shifted downward and began tugging at my shoes. As I looked down, both laces mysteriously tightened together. A force rose from my chest to the tip of my nose, and a faint voice whispered, "Knucklehead." I bent down to untie my shoes, only to feel an invisible hand slap the back of my head. When I turned around, two spectral fingers shot toward my eyes, stopping only because I raised my hand just in time. Somewhere in the darkness, I heard, "Wise guy, eh?" followed by three distant voices arguing, a hollow metallic crash, and the unmistakable sound of "Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk." I cannot conclusively prove that the basement is haunted by the Three Stooges, but I also cannot prove that it isn't. Highly recommended for paranormal enthusiasts, history lovers, skeptics, and anyone comfortable being insulted by the dead. Just use the restroom beforehand, don't touch the coffin, and protect your eyes if a ghost calls you "knucklehead."

This…read morelocation was the center of activity on the island in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as the chapel was in close proximity to a Militia muster house and a Masonic lodge. It is also home to the oldest existing structure on the island, the Baynard Mausoleum, which was built in 1846 by William Baynard, a wealthy Plantation owner. The cemetery contains the graves and memorials for four Revolutionary War Patriots: Isaac Baldwin, James Davant, John Stoney, and Charles Davant. Charles Davant was ambushed by a Tory militia unit, was mortally wounded, and is the only known Patriot casualty on the island. It is clearly an old and disused cemetery. Some of the headstones are quite worn and impossible to read. There is a small parking area that is accessible from the Matthews Drive ramp. This is history.
