North Forest Beach is one of the most popular destinations for vacationers on Hilton Head and there are may reasons for that. The beach is wide and pristine, the oceanfront homes are right 'on' the beach, not set back like in other areas on the island. There is separation between houses allowing for privacy around swimming pools in many cases.
Coligny Circle which has a wide variety of general and specialty stores is within walking distance or biking distance of most homes is a vacationers playground. Whether the kids need an ice cream or you are craving a cappuccino or your kitchen needs supplies or you simply want to go fly a kite or rent a bike, you will find it all here. There is even a private movie theater showing good quality select movies and a fine health food store with avocado and sprout sandwiches with natural juices. Numerous restaurants provide breakfast, lunch and dinner for young and old, casual and not quite as casual whether your taste buds are craving seafood or pasta or steaks or salads.
No other beach community on Hilton Head offers that variety and quality of vacation experiences which are yours for the choosing at North Forest Beach. You may find you are like so many before you who having tried this area have decided that this area is their beach vacation spot forever. We hope you will love Halcyon Days and North Forest Beach as much as we do.
