Fun diversion. As you climb the 114 steps to the top you will get a history lesson of the region, from prehistory to the modern era. Lots of interesting displays. Great views from the top. Parking is limited, so be prepared to walk a bit. Admission is a reasonable $4.95 per person. You also have to pay $9 per vehicle to access the area unless you are a resident.

Never been to a lighthouse with so many interesting story boards. Lots of exhibits and different themes on each level. Very cool observation deck. Very friendly staff. Small cost at $4.95 each. Note $9 fee to access Harbour Town. Cool marina and pier nearby.

My cousin spent a couple of days exploring Hilton Head. We had an amazing time and couldnt wait to climb to the top of the light house. Wonderful experience! Loved using the Tower Viewer. Beautiful view of Daufuskie Island. Saw dolphins and birds too.

Didnt actually go in the lighthouse, but walked the surrounding area. Its a pretty marina and a must visit for any golf fan. You can walk to the other side of the marina and watch people finish up the 18th hole at harbour town. Most people in the area had masks on, which was nice to see, but its pretty easy to keep your distance from others near the lighthouse.

Nice place to visit, lots to do, a number of restaurants, shopping. The lighthouse not very tall vist to go up but not much I think 10.00 Sales person at the lighthouse helpful. Vagabond nice boat ride didnt really go anywhere and is not worth what it cost. pricey for what it was so wouldnt recommend that.

Love it here, its so peaceful and relaxing. It seemed that all of my worries went away. Just come here and walk the harbor and I guarantee you will love it!!!

Visiting the Harbourtown Lighthouse is definitely worth it for the views. The 114 steps to the top provide unbelievable scenic views and make you think, what can you do to move there immediately!Cost to climb the stairs is $4.95 per person and children under 5 and military are free of charge...

We really enjoyed our visit to the Harbour Town Lighthouse. The history learned while walking the stairs to the top was awesome. Most people were just walking right up the stairs to see the view from the top of the lighthouse(which is amazing by the way), but they were missing out on some interesting history facts about the area. Do yourself a favor and soak up some of the museum portion of the lighthouse before seeing the awesome view from the top. This is a cheap and fun thing to do for the whole family while in Hilton Head.

It was absolutely amazing! Had a great time and everyone practiced safe measures all day.

What a great place to walk around, eat, hear music, shop and have some yummy drinks. A little disappointed with Quarter deck restaurant. Service wasnt that good and the food was just ok. When I looked it up online it looked completely different. The area as a whole was great to spend a few hours.

Least scary lighthouse ever! I have issues with see-through stairs and tight spiral staircases. I always get scared going down in lighthouses like that. This lighthouse has more back & forth style staircases and they have sturdy wood steps. Theres 114 steps! They also have great shops and a fun photo booth.

The Harbour Town Lighthouse was fun to visit. The view was great from the top. Adult entrance charge was $4.95, and you get a wrist band so that you can re-enter. There were history displays on the way up. Be aware that the only way to get to the top is to climb the stairs, but lots of places to stop and take a break on the way up if needed.

Beautiful...This is the easiest lighthouse to concor the steps to the top.

Super cool place with newly learned history and nautical vantage points. Even some PGA history and lots of USCG points of interest. Incredibly courteous gift shop staff with lots of local knowledge. Definitely a must see!!

Loved the entire lighthouse, it’s decorated with memorabilia and history. Can’t social distance much once inside but it’s easier once you have reached the top. There is a little gift shop on the top level. Beautiful view of the area.

It was very cool to visit! But, it doesnt say that it is in a golf course subdivision and that you have to pay to go in... Still something to see regardless!

Lovely laid back place to relax and walk around! We came here to visit on a day pass. We spent about 2 hours walking around the beach, shopping centres, and restaurants.

The lighthouse view is breathtaking and the yacht harbour is lovely to look at too. great restaurants and plenty of merch shops. you HAVE to try the ice cream shops there, as well.

Fantastic. Great 2 mile walk around shops and boat harbor. Great Kids aground. Awesome views. Could use some more parking

Such a beautiful place! Very quiet and peaceful. Good variety of restaurants with outdoor seating. We enjoyed our time here.

Great place to hit a few shop like the Salty Dog. Lighthouse is great. Can pay to go to top and see the view. Parking is close by, several restaurants open.

Amazing views of the ocean, harbor town golf course, and the pier. The lighthouse had a nominal fee to enter but provided history of the area as you make the 114 step climb to the top.

Five dollars to go to the top... Cute museum

I didnt like that we had to pay to enter the place with the lighthouse and then had to pay to go up into the lighthouse. But otherwise its a nice lighthouse. The inside has fans all the way up. Its not as tall as other lighthouses Ive walked up but the view from the top is amazing. The area around the lighthouse is well maintained and aesthetically pleasing. I especially liked the rocking chairs. Theres also a natural beach filled with seashells a few feet away. Though the best part had to be the dolphins.

A must see if youre in the area! Amazing view from the top, a great store, and fun facts about the island throughout the lighthouse.

Lots and lots of walking. The staff were super friendly, especially the cashier at entry. The view was spectacular!!

Cute and quaint little light house. Has a mini museum with artifacts from the area and historical documents on the walls as you go up the steps. A small gift shop at the very top (enclosed) you go out the door for fantastic views of the boats, golf course, new dock and the sunset. They have sanitizer stations for you to use also. Worth the stop if in the area for sure.

Great food and a nice place to catch a great view

Very beautiful place. It was my first time every seeing a light house. I really enjoyed it and the price of admission is a very decent price

Great place to visit. Good shopping and food.

It is an iconic place to go if you are a golfer seeing the Light House. Not much to do, expensive shops and some restaurants. But I did enjoy seeing all the big boats and walking out on the pier.

It was a great view, very much a tourist trap rather than a museum, but something to do for a relatively low cost of only $5. The surrounding area is full of souvenir shops with a few boutique stores. Its not worth the price to get into Sea Pines for the day, unless you are really excited to see the yachts, golf course, or are bored and have nothing else to do.

Shops, bicycle trails, playground for kids, marina and easy access to PGA Heritage Golf course a.k.a. RBC.

We had such a great time! So many wonderful pictures and stories of local history on your way up to a beautiful view. The climb was totally worth it!

Just moved to the area. Great place to visit and shop. Some of the locals seem to dislike out of town folks but the tourists are the ones keeping their small businesses open. I would visit again, after I get local tags though!

Cool place. If you are in the area on vacation and you have the time this is a fun area. If you have children they will like to see the boats come in and out of the harbor.

Absolutely a wonderful time. The sunset dolphin cruise was wonderful. Gorgeous sunset.

Loved this lighthouse. It is beautiful. I am so glad we were able to go up to the top. 114 steps. It is pretty cheap to do the self guided tour.

Neat little area in Hilton Head. Lots of food & shopping. You can actually go to the top of the lighthouse & walk around the top for only $5 bucks!

Climbing the lighthouse was a pleasure. At each platform going up, there are different pieces of history to stop and look at, as well as a shop at the top. The view is great.

Loved it. Lots to do and see.

Cute place to walk around. Live music was playing the night we went.

Nice area, glad to have seen it. Not inclined to spend $5 to go up but I could see a lot of people would like it. . Views from the pier were nice enough for me.

A t-shirt place there was not friendly at all. They are not too keen on hispanics. The light house was beautiful.

Nice variety of shops and restaurants right at the harbor. Check out the lighthouse and interesting displays while climbing the easy 63 feet, 115 steps. Saw 2 manatee slowly exploring the harbor. Major rush seeing some amazing boats. Kids will like the playground. .

Worth a trip to the top. Lots of museum-quality history to see and read on the way up/down. Good views for those who can climb the stairs.

The lighthouse is not functional, but gives tourists an elevated view of the area. There is an admission charge to go up. Located in the center of Harbour Town, there are plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants and other attractions within easy walking distance. The harbour has a pier with a covered gazebo at the end thats free to the public. There are scores of beautiful boats in the marina some of which can be chartered. This is a must see place on Hilton Head Island

The dolphin tour was fabulous. We saw dolphins before we even left the dock. The raspberry and the lemon bar sorbets were refreshing at The Cinnamon Bear Country Store.

Beautiful place. We just visited, but we had a blast picking shells. Walking in the pier was so beautiful. Please pick this place to walk around at if ur staying at another location.

Highlight of Sea Pines, the old oaks trees, marina, shops and restaurantsale strolling around fun.

Reasonable price, great view, clean and safe.

Needed a beverage and just a quick bite to hold us over until dinner and this did the trick!! Had the She-crab bisque and Tuna Poke, both were excellent!

Beautiful beautiful lighthouse beautiful surroundings. My fathers a big Lighthouse surveyor. I only wish you was there to see it.

Really must go place to see those dolphin, loved it and rhe beautiful sunset.

So super NICe️

Very nice facility and air conditioning !!! The view from the top is awesome. $4.95 per person but worth it. Many artifacts and historical photos line the walls.

Definitely a tourist trap with a lighthouse that was built just for show and a bunch of t-shirt and souvenir shops with a few mediocre restaurants. However it is still beautiful and there are some fun things to do like a pirate boat ride for kids, a really sweet playground, kayaks and Hobie cats to rent, as well as some fun boats to look at. Plus you can take a cruise on Stars and Stripes - a boat that won the Americas Cup (twice!) and the Louis Vuitton Cup in the late 80s. Pretty cool.

Beautiful area. Nice little shops and Ice Cream Parlor. Cute!

We collect the souvenir elongated pennies and they had 3 inside. But you have to pay to get up in the light house to get to them. Great views of the harbor from up top.

Its fun and easy walking up to the top of the lighthouse. It has beautiful views from the top and a lot of history. Only $5 to go up to the top.

We went to see the lighthouse and stayed for a lot more. Large playground for the kids, ice cream, shopping and yachts. The little ones loved petting the horses on the way in. Definitely would visit again.

This is a must stop for anyone on the island. Climb to the top. You wont regret it. The view is incredible.

Lots of history to the lighthouse. Much of it is nicely displayed inside on the walls along the staircase to the top. If youve been going all day and need a quick and educational intermission, this is your stop!

This was a nice place with a lot to do. Restaurants, shops and ice cream with a playground for the kids and a marina with benches around it to watch the boats come and go. Also, there is a lighthouse and a pier, great evening out on Labor Day weekend.

This light house is a smite smaller than some others Ive seen, but it is worth a look at. I loved the area and the surrounding marina. There are plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy at your leisure.

Great place to walk around explore little tourist shops and restaurants. Walk out on the pier. Its $5 a person to go up the light house. I dont recommend, its not that tall.

A must in Hilton Head. Spectacular views, food and shopping.

Nice view but not worth $15, since it costs $9 to get into sea pines and $4.95 to go up the lighthouse.

The red-and-white-striped Harbour Town Lighthouse serves not only as a beacon to the many ships but also as a landmark that has come to symbolize Hilton Head Island. Inside you will see a great Coast Guard Exhibit! Admission, to climb the lighthouse, is $4.95 per person and children 5 and under are free. Amazing views!!!

Great place to visit. Bring the kids. They will love it.

Captain was awesome. Crew was impeccable and the view was inescapable. Jenna was amazing! love it :) Ema you were amazing. We wish you the utmost luck and best wishes in all of your future endeavors. Your are and going stay a Rockstar!

Always a fun place to visit. Right on the water lots of interesting shops beautiful scenery and nice cool breezes.

Beautiful place. Luckily not very crowded when we biked here...

Beautiful spot on HHI, spent honeymoon here and will be back!

Nice views. Friendly staff. Lovely location amongst restaurants, ice cream shops and retail stores. Great variety of souvenirs.

Loved this Place. A sight to behold. Great Friendly atmosphere.

Pretty cool place to check out while on your vacation. Its interesting to read the history while going 70 up to see the gorgeous views around you.

Great place to stroll, shop, eat and drink . Iconic lighthouse provides a good backdrop for photo ops . Harbortowne golf links nearby .

Just a great spot to watch and eat pretty good food at reasonably good prices; good staff

Great place staying at Hilton Head this is a must-see great to take a bike ride to Harbor Town nice restaurants nice playground for the kids to play boat rides.

Nice people, food, entertainment boat rides and meals on the water. Priceless

Worth the $5 lots of history to learn in the wall displays. Great views from the top

The July 4th fireworks show is awesome! I recommend watching them from the golf course, across the bay from the lighthouse. Bring chairs and get there early for a good spot.

Nice hot spot on the island. Very crowded and parking limited. But there is a free trolley service. You have to park very close to a main gate and take a trolley ride. Sea Pines is a very beautiful part of the island. Down side you have to pay a per day access fee of $8 per day to visit if you are not part of the community. Very cool harbor with some cool boats. Crazy Crab was a nice restaurant to visit long wait time at peak hours but service was very quick. Great hush puppies.

So pretty here and a lot of cute little shops and restaurants. Best place to watch the sunset in town.

Beautiful day. Many of the shops are open but controlled access.

The breeze coming in on the sound is hypnotic and refreshing in .8d-August. We enjoyed the live music on the square and the tranquility of our visit

Beautiful place to bring family and friends. Parking will be available only if youre lucky very small parking lot. 3 hr limit only. Plenty of space to walk sit and enjoy the day. We visited during Thanksgiving 2019.

Come to see the lighthouse... you’ll stay for all there is around it! We loved all the red rocking chairs! A fun area to explore, see boats, let the kids play on the playground, and get in a little shopping.. then relax on a rocking chair with some ice cream . I personally enjoyed the large trees, just an amazing feel to the outdoor space. A nice beach and lots of wildlife to gaze at and relax. We went into the lighthouse to the top and were impressed with the walk up the stairs being an experience of its own... a museum and an amazing view from the top.

It is beautiful and the harbor is nice. It is somewhat expensive, but that didnt surprise me. I wouldnt waste my time on the light house museum.

Easy registration, fun cruise, friendly staff, and discount coupons at our hotel. Stumbled upon a quaint little cafe on Daufuski Island while exploring in our rented golf cart (apparently, so did most of the other cruisers) It opened at 11, so we were pushing it to get back to the boat on time. That worked out fine because after that meal, we needed a good run. Dont know what the cafe near general store was like, but I doubt they had anything close to the fried fish, salad trio, fried green tomatoes and slab of coconut cake we had!

Beautifully decorated inside with local artifacts! The plaques on the walls tell the entire history of Hilton Head Island. And, the view from the top is spectacular. :)

Great food and view on the water! Not to shabby of a sunset either!

Nice little place. Not quite what I expected from reading about it, but it was a neat little stop.

Beautiful lighthouse. Best to go of an evening for the sunset

Very uncomfortable with how theyre handling covid. We went in and quickly left because theyre allowing 50 people in the light house at a time. It was very cramped.Looked good from the outside!

Great views and the guy at the top was super informative about things to do in Hilton Head

Beautiful part of the island. Great tradition to visit Harbour town every year

Lovely area! Lighthouse was very knowledgeable, loads of history! Cool town with lots to do! Highly recommended!

Great experience! We did the dolphin tour and got close up views of the Dolphins. Kids enjoyed it.
