Tues Nov 19th - Exploring Hilton Head

Lunch at the Quarterhouse in Harbor Town

View of Harbor Town

Because most of Hilton Head is comprised of private gated residential communities, it is not possible to explore the whole island, however there is a large private area called Sea Pines that charges $5 to enter and covers a large area of the island (the toe), and we decided to splash out and explore... The community has two areas with marinas, restaurants and shops. The first area is Harbour Town, which we had heard about. It is very nice but small and mostly just shops etc... we decided to eat lunch there at the Quarterhouse. It was a bit of a disappointment and the shrimp tasted positively questionable.... and Derek's pulled pork was ho-hum!! But we had fun and it was a lovely outdoor patio to relax on in the sunshine.
After we left Harbour town we drove to South Beach Marina and found a huge open log fire and a bar that looked lively and fun .. we didnlt stay but made a note for future reference. We drove round for most of remaining afternoon, checking out a couple of golf courses.  After picking up a few grocery supplies we headed back to base to cook up the fresh grouper we had bought at Benny's Seafood that morning.  Delicious.
