HILTON HEAD HISTORY

Hilton Head Island has a long and rich history of visitors. Thousands of Years Ago

Native Americans came to hunt and fish.

1663

Captain William Hilton sailed the British ship Adventure north from Barbados, scouting lands to grow sugar cane for the crown. Approaching the Island by way of Port Royal Sound, he encountered a sliver of land and called it “Hilton’s Headland.”

1861-1865

The Civil War brought big changes to Hilton Head Island. At the onset of the conflict, the South erected Fort Walker to protect the port. When the fort fell, tens of thousands of Union troops, prisoners, missionaries, shopkeepers and enslaved men and women seeking asylum flooded the Island. Hilton Head became instrumental in the North’s blockade of nearby Southern ports. In 1863, the town of Mitchelville became the first self-governed town for freed men and women.

Late 1950s

Developer and environmentalist Charles E. Fraser began work on the Island’s first resort, which he called Sea Pines. Fraser is sometimes called the father of the modern resort, and his vision for the Island was progressive. His determination that no building be “higher than the tallest tree,” as well as his rejection of neon signs, became central to the Island’s character.

1520s

Conquistadors explored the area.

17th, 18th & 19th Centuries

For many years, few permanent residents made their home on Hilton Head Island. Though the humid, subtropical climate was ideal for growing agricultural crops like cotton and rice, fear of disease and isolation kept antebellum plantation owners on the mainland. Africans worked the plantations, and their unique blend of African and European traditions gave birth to the Gullah culture, which survives even today.

Post Civil War - 1956

After the Civil War, the Island’s population dropped to around 3,000, and by 1940, it had fallen to just over 1,000. Electricity finally came to the Island in 1950 and, six years later, Hilton Head’s very first bridge to the mainland made the area significantly more accessible.

Today

Fraser’s legacy lives on in Hilton Head Island’s balance of commerce with green spaces, golf courses with wild places and thoroughfares with biking trails. Recently voted the Best Island in the U.S. by Travel and Leisure readers for the third time, this family-friendly sea island combines luxury, adventure and charm. ging strollers.

Designated Swimming Areas:

Official swimming areas have been desig-

32 Island Events August 2021

nated for the Alder Lane, Coligny, Driessen, Folly Field and Islanders Beach Parks. The boundaries will be clearly marked on the beach and in the water. Lifeguards are stationed at these designated areas for assistance and beach information.

Beach Marker Signs:

Hilton Head’s beaches are marked near the dune line with signs to let emergency responders know where assistance is needed. They are also useful as a reference point if you or your group should become lost.

Beach Safety Tips: • Apply and reapply plenty of sunscreen even on cloudy days. • Wear sunglasses to prevent damage from the sun. • Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. • Be aware of the rules and regulations of the beach. Signs are posted near most beach accesses. • Don’t leave your kids unsupervised even in guarded areas. • Note the location of the nearest lifeguard and report any hazardous conditions to him or her. • Know the name of the beach or hotel/ condo and the beach marker number where you are staying if you should need assistance. • There are often jellyfish and stingrays, as well as other sea life in and out of the water, which may sting or cut a person. In any situation where first aid is needed, find a lifeguard or seek further medical attention. • Call or wave for help if you are in trouble. hiltonhead.com

Water Safety Tips: • Don’t enter the water if you can’t swim. • Swim near a lifeguard. • Ask the lifeguard about any dangers in the water or on the beach, especially if he or she is flying a yellow caution flag. • Be aware of direction and strength of longshore currents. These currents can take you up and down the beach quickly and cause you or your kids to get lost. • Don’t let your kids swim unsupervised even in guarded areas. • Don’t swim alone. Use the buddy system so that someone always knows where you are so they can get help if needed. • Don’t overestimate your swimming ability. Stay in chest-deep or less water to insure you don’t get stuck in water over your head. • Don’t rely on flotation devices. • Swim parallel to shore if you want to swim long distances. • Don’t swim against the current. Swim across the current to escape the pull. • Always swim sober. • Don’t dive into unknown water or shallow breaking waves. Always go feet first.

Beach Prohibitions: The following are prohibited on all beaches: – Possession or consumption of alcohol – Glass (bottles, containers, etc.) – Littering – Indecent exposure or nudity – Disorderly conduct – Disturbing the peace – Unauthorized vehicles – Fires and fireworks – Shark fishing – Horseback riding or motorized driving – Removal, harming or harassment of any hiltonhead.com

Bicycles are vehicles and must obey SC traffic laws. • Travel the pathways at speeds that allow for the safety of pedestrians and other users. • Never ride within the roadway against traffic. State law requires bicycles to drive like all other vehicles. • Do not ride on roads when a pathway is available. • Ride single file and keep a safe distance from other bicyclists.

please move off the pathway. • Most sections of the pathways are not illuminated. If you must bike at night, please wear light-colored clothing or carry a flashlight. Bicycles must have a red rear reflector and a headlight when biking at night. • When approaching slower pathway users from behind, please sound your warning device, or call out, “Passing on your left.” Always pass on the left. • Bicyclists should always wear a helmet, especially children 12 and under.

• WATCH OUT FOR MOTORISTS! Motorists must yield to pedestrians and bicyclists within marked crossings, but they may not see you.

• Make eye contact and use hand signals. Assume other bicyclists and motorists don’t see you. Hand signals tell motorists and other path users what you intend to do and will ensure everyone’s safety on the paths.

• Yield to pedestrians. When resting or stopped,

• Be courteous, alert and predictable.

GOLF AND THE OLYMPICS

THREE WAYS THAT SERIOUS GOLFERS BEHAVE LIKE OLYMPIANS By Doug Weaver, Director of Instruction, Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy

1. SEQUENCING The best golf swing is built from the ground up. Similarly, the javelin, shot put and hammer are all events in which the skill starts in the feet. In the Olympics, order of movements is everything. In golf, we call this the Kinematic Sequence, which describes the most effective and efficient ways for the various parts of the body and the club to accelerate and decelerate, thereby creating the optimal swing.

2. KNOWING THAT SLOW IS SMOOTH AND SMOOTH IS FAST Swimmers are all about efficiency in their effort, and you’ll notice that their long, smooth strokes create speed but very small splashes. Also, watching swimmers warming up and stretching, you can see how loose their muscles are and that they have extraordinary 62 Island Events August 2021

range of motion. They wear their warm-ups until they are getting into the pool, keeping warm and elastic until the last possible second. Elasticity is key in golf as well! Cyclists know that if they move too fast, they could make mistakes that may cost them significant time. They must build speed slowly and carefully, without sacrificing any technique. This is also how the perfect golf swing is executed. Runners are all about sticking to their pace. The same goes for golfers, where the pace or zone that provides the best results must endure throughout the entire competition, from the first seconds to the final moments.

3. OBSESSIVELY WORKING ON THEIR POSTURE Gymnasts have the best posture of all athletes, because proper posture promotes the proper path. This is the same for golf, where controlling

your eyes and focusing on the right place creates a successful swing. Both golfers and gymnasts also depend on excellent posture to ratchet up speed, increase mobility and avoid injury.

FUN FACT: From 1904 until 2015, golf was not played at the Olympics. Perhaps this is because golf is a game for all people and body types, and strength is secondary to technique (some of the best golfers in the world don’t appear athletic in the traditional sense). Finally, in 2016, golf was invited back. North Carolina and South Carolina PGA Teacher of the Year, Doug Weaver is the Director of Instruction at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy. He conducts “Where Does the Power Come From?”, a free interactive clinic and demonstration every Monday from 4-5 p.m. at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course.

The Big Dogs of Summer Article and Photo by Capt. Miles Altman, Bayrunner Fishing Charters

The dog days of summer are here and August is a great month to catch what I call the “Big Dogs.” This trio of tacklebusters, all available near or inshore, offers anglers big game thrills. Two of these fish, the tarpon and the blacktip shark, often weigh over 100 pounds and put on awesome aerial displays. People usually catch the big blacktip while tarpon fishing or vice versa, making it easy to get two of the three “Big Dogs” in one spot. The third is the jack crevalle, weighing up to 40 pounds. But hold on! These fish fight like 100-pounders. The tenacious jack crevalle often takes much longer to bring to the rod tip than the other two, even though they are twice as big. Recently, while fishing for Spanish mackerel with light tackle, a huge jack inhaled a live menhaden. The 20-pound test line was no match for this fish and we chased him two-and-a-half miles for just short of two hours. The jack (in the picture) weighed over 35 pounds. The big jacks offer no aerial displays, but will burn a reel up with long searing runs. Roaming the sound and sandbars in large packs, they are visible on the surface with 70 Island Events August 2021

their fins sticking up. Anglers then present a fly or a popping lure. Whether on a lure or live bait, top water strikes come swiftly, usually accompanied by an explosion. The tarpon and blacktip are more often than not fished while on anchor. Chumming helps and live or dead menhaden are effective. It’s good to have an anchor ball ready to pitch when the hookup ensues because there is little time to pull the anchor in. These fish can take hundreds of yards of line in just a few minutes. August is the time when trophy fish are close to shore. If you’re looking to catch a big one, then get out and go fishing this month! Captain Miles Altman of Bayrunner Fishing Charters has more than 42 years of experience fishing the waters surrounding Hilton Head Island. Don’t miss the new Finatic boat, which can accommodate up to 12 passengers and features a special 3-hour shark/dolphin eco-tour trip. Contact Capt. Miles at (843) 290-6955 to book an unforgettable inshore or offshore charter fishing trip, departing from Shelter Cove Marina. hiltonhead.com
