Hilton Head Island's New Coligny Beach Park
Children play in the new interactive fountain at the Coligny Beach Park
The Coligny Beach Park Redevelopment Project was completed this summer on Hilton Head Island’s most popular public beach access, the 1.5 acre beach park at the Coligny Circle in Forest Beach.

The highlight of the beach park renovation is the new interactive fountain with 26 synchronized water jets at grade level that squirt to varying heights at varying times. Little children love them!
Foot showers and benches at the beach access
The renovated park is beautiful with a wide, new promenade from the entrance where the fountain is located to the beach. The promenade has patterned wood and concrete with embedded plaques of sea animals along the way. Along the promenade are new large restrooms, new showers, a picnic shelter and pergolas with swings on two elevated platforms for viewing across the dunes to the ocean.

The 1.43 million dollar renovation is part of the Town of Hilton Head Island’s Bridge to the Beach Redevelopment plan, a strategy of Town-built projects, policies and programs meant to stimulate private redevelopment in the area.

Hilton Head Town Manager Steve Riley wrote about the park in Our Town, A Newsletter of the Town of Hilton Head Island this summer, “We hope that projects like this will spur or revitalize businesses and pedestrian use. If you look at the widely successful Pope Avenue pathway improvements, the significantly utilized new Compass Rose Park, Coligny Circle roundabout improvements, coupled with Coligny Beach Park’s re-birth, you will begin to understand that we mean business when if comes to redevelopment.”

The renovation of the Coligny Beach park is a great success and the high quality and beauty of the new park will bring pleasure to both townspeople and visitors for many years. When you are here to see Hilton Head homes and villas for sale, check it out.

Hilton Head's St. Patrick's Day Parade

The weather was perfect for the 25th annual Hilton Head Island St. Patrick’s Day parade on Sunday, March 16. Marching bands from the area’s high schools, many local businesses, civic groups, classic cars and the Charleston Police Pipes and Drums Corp were represented and entertained thousands of people, young and old.
25 years ago the first Hilton Head Island St. Patrick’s Day parade finished when the Budweiser Clydesdales pulled the iconic shiny red beer wagon along Pope Avenue to the Sea Pines Circle with the Dalmatian right up on top with the driver- it was perfect. This 25th parade highlighted our Military. At 3:30 p.m. an Army helicopter flew over the parade route and then Army Humvees led the way down Pope Avenue to an appreciative audience.

The parade route began at Coligny Circle in Forest Beach and continued along Pope Avenue toward the Sea Pines Circle, turned left on College Center Drive and ended in Park Plaza - about two miles. It lasted about an hour and a half. Off the parade route, the Beaufort County Police did an excellent job of keeping traffic moving along the the west side of Pope Avenue so that nobody was inconvenienced by the parade.
Hilton Head’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade is just one of many community events on Hilton Head Island throughout the year.
