Beach Walk, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA

Although most beach access is through private property or gated communities, the town does maintain public beach access points - and they are pretty nice.

Here's one.......

And here's another - the island is very particular about removing native growth so they worked around this live oak tree rather than take it out.

This public beach access offers showers, changing rooms, restrooms, swings, benches, foot showers, and WiFi! 

The beaches at low tide are wide, flat, and hard packed for walking or.......

bicycling.....

......and more bicycling.

 Fleeing with his breakfast still in hand, this osprey did not like being disturbed from atop a beached catamaran mast .
