Yesterday, as I was walking along Forest Beach, I noticed a lone figure sitting in the sand watching a beautiful sunrise. It was the first day of Fall, and it turned out to be a gorgeous day with a slight breeze, temperatures in the 80’s and Carolina Blue Skies. 

The figure was a young woman and I imagined that she was contemplating her day’s activities on Hilton Head Island. As an Island resident for over 30 years, I can tell you that September and October are two of the best months to visit our paradise. You will find vacationers and locals alike playing golf and tennis. Our uncrowded beaches offer a wonderful opportunity for biking, fishing, bird watching and sunbathing.

Fall is also a great time to look at Hilton Head Real Estate. Second homes and villas have never been more affordable. Besides having great choices of resale properties, there are a number of Short Sales and Foreclosures always available. Local banks have rates under 5% and are making loans every day.
 
In addition, you will find outstanding accommodations available at reasonable rates. The prices will vary with location, number of bedrooms and décor. There are many Rental Websites Available with high definition photos and in depth descriptions. Come for a week, month or a long weekend.
 
Fall on Hilton Head Island is an unforgettable experience. If our island intrigues you and you are curious about real estate, visit Hilton Head Island’s Number One Real Estate Website. Or, if you have general questions, just send me an email.

Lights Out Oceanfront Hilton Head Island

Posted: July 16, 2010 1:17 PM | Posted By : Randy's Real Estate

Oceanfront rental homes on Hilton Head Island may have small signs posted saying “Lights Out at Night, May 1-Oct. 31”.  This is because Hilton Head Island's 12 miles of beaches are home to Endangered loggerhead sea turtles. Lights shining on the beach can disorient the female turtles when they emerge from the ocean, dig holes in the sand, and deposit as many as 120 eggs on the upper part of the beach.  A light shining on the beach can also cause hatchlings leaving the nests to become confused, making them unable to find their way to sea. Hilton Head Island’s first sea turtle nest of 2010 hatched July 13!

Near dawn, you can see staff from the Sea Turtle Protection program riding their ATVs on the beach, checking for new nests. After about 60 days, hatchlings emerge when the temperature drops at night. After the hatchlings leave the nests, the staff inventories each nest to determine how many eggs successfully hatched. If you see a sea turtle, hatchling, nest, or turtle tracks (which look like tracks made by a small bulldozer) on the beach, you are very lucky. Leave them alone, and watch in wonder.

Want to learn more? The Coastal Discovery Museum hosts evening lecture and beach walks at a mid island beach. After a presentation about loggerhead sea turtles, two small groups head to the beach to examine the nesting habitat and nest sites. Tuesdays and Thursdays 8-10 p.m. from June 1-Sept. 2. $20 adults; $15 children (ages 4-12). Reservations are required at 843-689-6767 ext. 223.
