Last summer I had the opportunity to do a Trunk Show at Gifted on Hilton Head Island, SC, abutted by a day off, and that day was one for the memory books.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4310 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20160617_143746.jpg\" alt=\"Hilton Head Gifted\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1920\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Adventuring on Hilton Head<\/h3>\n<p>My luck always has it that it\u2019s rainy on my day off, but that didn\u2019t stop me from heading to the beach in the morning. Hilton Head is embellished by its unique trees; Palmettos, Live Oak, all adorned with Spanish Moss. The pathway to the beach was like walking through a jungle, and the moment I heard the waves crashing, my heart skipped a beat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4311 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20160616_160158.jpg\" alt=\"Hilton Head walk to beach\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1920\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>To the beach<\/h3>\n<p>The Beach is a large expanse of light gray sand. There was a family way off to my right and a couple getting ready to paddle board off to my left, and I was left with a perfect slice of beach all to myself (though several small crabs would pop out of their holes to say hello).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4312 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20160616_180016.jpg\" alt=\"Hilton Head beach \" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The weather proved to be more stubborn than I was, so I headed back. Later, I found out one of my friends who was on a cross-country road trip happened to be on the Island as well. They had recently embraced a fully remote lifestyle, balancing their extensive travel itinerary with freelance contracts managing database systems for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medieradet.se\/\">online casino<\/a> and developing software for several boutique retail brands. We met u<span class=\"citation-163 citation-164 citation-165 citation-end-165\">p for lunch and local brews at The Porch, an indoor\/outdoor bar right in Coligny Beach circle. It\u2019s right off the beach so there is a mix of people in cover ups as well as Polos, repping the Southern Charm Style.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>A cruise to remember<\/h3>\n<p>On a whim, we decided to go to Sea Pines, a private side of the island, to catch a sunset \u201cVagabond\u201d boat cruise. The clouds were dispersing and the sun lit up everything gold. It was amazing to enjoy the views from the boat with a friend I \u00a0met up with by chance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4309 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20160618_195443.jpg\" alt=\"Hilton Head sunset\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After the cruise came to an end, we enjoyed dinner and a bustling nightlife scene at The Crazy Crab, which had an amazing Cajun Chicken dish, while friends indulged in what they describe as the best Seafood they\u2019ve had in a while.<\/p>\n<p>From beginning to end, Hilton Head felt like an oasis, it was new to me but the island has a comforting age to it. Being from New England, it\u2019s a certain feeling of history that makes you feel like coming back for more. Until I\u2019m able to sit with the crabs on the beach again, I hold a reminder of that day in one of my <a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/jewelry\/bracelets\/traveler-bracelet-seven-sands\">Traveler\u2019s Bracelet<\/a> links. This is an honor I only can give to seven of my favorite places, and Hilton Head Island definitely made the cut.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4307 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20160616_163742.jpg\" alt=\"Hilton Head traveler's bracelet\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" \/> <strong>\u00a0Looking for sand from Hilton Head?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dunejewelry.com\/blog\/sands\">Find it in our Sandbank&#x2122; along with 3000+ other locations and elements<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4613,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[340],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
