In 1969, Arnold Palmer ended a 14-month winless streak with a victory at the inaugural Heritage Classic at Sea Pines Plantation. Shortly after his win, Palmer was recognized as "Athlete of the Decade." His Heritage Classic win brought instant national recognition to the newly opened Harbour Town Golf Links and established Hilton Head firmly in the list of the world’s top golf destinations.

Popular off-the-beaten path, hole in the wall restaurants are the Sea Shack as well as Hudsons on the Docks. Both offer great seafood. Best sunset view of the island is definitely the Old Fort Pub overlooking Skull Creek on the site of an historic fort.

Michael Anthonys - great Italian food and great atmosphere
