TRAVEL Hilton Head
ISLAND PERFECT The ground here is soft, a mix of sand and soil churned by centuries of late summer storms, white-tailed deer and people. The former mostly are indigenous, the last mostly not, but then life on this island long has been a balancing act of what was here and what has come. Getting that balance right means that one of the world’s most-visited destinations is also one of its most natural, that casual beach fare and fried seafood are complemented by sophisticated European-style dining, and that epic golf and modern resorts live alongside one of America’s oldest touchstone cultures. Under an unspoiled sky, with the sun or stars pouring down and just the right amount of warm breeze on your skin, it is difficult to imagine a better place to be than on Hilton Head Island
