Review of Hilton Head Island, South Carolina


Another "Fish Out of Water"
Star Rating - 10/22/2006
Overwhelmingly conservative, unfriendly, expensive, and narrow-minded. Hilton Head attracts a certain type of people-the kind that only want to be around their own kind, and do it behind gated "faux plantations" or whilst sitting in HumVees and Escalades in the endless dense traffic of lost tourists from Ohio in minivans.

The quality of the local government(s) and public schools is just plain appalling.

Nearby Savannah, GA, is enchanting and makes living in HH almost bearable, if and when you can get through or survive the traffic to get there.
