Route 278 or William Hilton Parkway is main road across Hilton Head Island. You will discover that finding locations on island can be tricky. The buildings share similar architecture, green roofs, sand colored siding. The island's attempts to blend buildings in with natural surroundings, though worthy of praise, has led to some problems. Many buildings are hidden from view from roads. Local laws regarding reduction of signage street lights and billboards makes it difficult at times to find place that you are looking for, this especially true if traveling at night. Small mile marker signs dot highway in an attempt to provide a point of reference to visitors
Pollen in area is extremely dense. A fine greenish-yellow powder covers everything here durring spring and summer months. If you have allergies be prepared with a good supply of anti-histamines and other allergy medicine.
In summer months bugs are a nuisance on island. Mesquitos are very numerous due to surrounding marsh lands and island lagoons. Chiggers are like little ticks that leave a nasty bite, don't make mistake of playing with spanish moss that sometimes falls from oak trees, as this moss is often home to nests of chiggers. No-see-ums are tiny flying insects which are very annoying, they look like small grey fleas and leave an itchy bite. Sand fleas are prevelant on beaches. If you have never seen a palmetto bug then you are in for a treat! Palmetto bug is a cute sounding name for what in reality is a giant flying cockroach! The first time I saw one , I freaked out a bit, not sure if they bite , but gross out factor alone makes them worth mentioning. Bring a good supply of insect spray when visiting in summer months.
Alligators live on island and pretty much keep to themselves. It isn't uncommon for an alligator to take a stroll on golf course or warm themselves on a hot sidewalk though. They might even have a swim at local pool from time to time.
