Depends on what you’re going for. Hilton Head is one of my favorite places. Quiet, serene, higher end. Also close to Savannah, GA for some good eats. Myrtle Beach is more of a spring break “party” type place. Definitely busier and louder. More of a touristy appeal.

I was *just* going to post the same thing. HHI is great for quiet vacations, yummy food, proximity to Savannah, serene beach. Myrtle Beach is more a strip beach, think hotels and motels along the strip, traffic, lots of hotels with lazy rivers.

Carolina Beach. Finding VRBO or airBNB is much more affordable and the beaches are less crowded and cleaner because of that.

Having been to both, I would say it depends on what you are looking for. Hilton Head is quieter, more community feel, with little niche communities here and there, more hidden. Myrtle Beach is busier more to do all along the ocean.

In Myrtle beach you need to avoid staying on the strip. The hotels from 35th avenue and up are better then the ones below that. I went to Hilton head as a teenager and hated it. I found it boring. I think as a adult I would enjoy it more. If you have older kids I suggest Myrtle beach. There is more for them to do. If your kids are younger then Hilton head.

Totally different - Hilton Head is laid back. We stayed at the Omni and it was incredible. Highly recommend the Omni. Myrtle Beach is ok, went there for a baseball tournament. Lots of touristy things. Ocean 22 is excellent hotel.

We split time in HHI! PLEASE DO NOT COME! The states are opening up, but only because of politics. Our hospital is small and we are desperately trying to keep our locals safe. If you can wait until September, it will be wonderful- we call it local summer. But please, stay home for now!

HHI. Sea Pines is amazing. Lots to do and you can safely ride bikes everywhere. Lots of rental places on the island that will deliver bikes for the week you're there.

Hilton Head for sure! Some parts of Myrtle are blah.

I prefer Hilton Head. Less commercially built up, if that makes sense. HH seems to cultivate a relaxed vibe.

HH for sure! Along with all of the beachfront activities - we loved it because we were just a 30-40 minute drive from Savanah! So beautiful

We’ve narrowed down our (hopefully) rescheduled Disney trip to either staying at Caribbean Beach Resort or Port Orleans French Quarter.
