When you are in the Hilton Head Island area of South Carolina then you will want to take the time to visit the Coastal Discovery Museum. There are great exhibits, programs, and activities offered all year round that will make Hilton Head a wonderful place to visit and learn more about. Both residents and tourists enjoy visiting the Coastal Discovery Museum and learning more about the area.

The museum is open all year and it has both indoor and outdoor exhibits to see and enjoy. There are also activity centers in the Sea Island Classroom that are great for kids and teens to learn more about the ocean and ocean life. Check out the history time line exhibit, too, as well as the museum store. One of the most popular attractions is the cruise around the island in addition to tours of the museum  and island. There are more than 11 different tours and cruises to choose from that focus on the island's history as well as its ecology. Last year alone there were more than 125,000 visitors and the museum is located right on Jarvis Creek. This is near the salt marsh that is home to the shellfish grounds. The outdoor exhibits focus on the flora and fauna native to the area. You can find life sized saxon vats that were used during the 1700s to make indigo dye and there is even a nature trail to the salt marsh.

The museum hours are from 9 am until 4:30 pm Monday through Saturday and from 11 am until 3 pm on Sunday. These hours apply all year and with the mild climate in Hilton Head you will enjoy visiting at any time of year. The next time you are in Hilton Head make sure you make some time to visit the Coastal Discovery Museum and have a blast with the entire family!
