The Town of Hilton Head recognizes that its beaches are a vital asset to its residents and the Island’s economy. As part of the Town’s long-term strategy for beach restoration and maintenance, the Town plans to begin its 2016 $20.7 million renourishment project in June 2016. Although work will commence this summer, high density visitor-oriented beaches along central shoreline will not be impacted until fall. The funding source of the project is a longstanding 2% fee imposed on overnight lodging.
