Hilton Head Island SC - Beach Trip 2022

[@maryf3219]

My sisters and I have been there several times. Two years ago, we took an early walk on the beach and saw a sea turtle laying her eggs in the sand. They have a turtle crew who watches and protects them while they are laying the eggs. The crew takes measurements of her and after she leaves, they dig up her eggs and re-bury them in a safer place nearby, off the beaten path. It was exciting to watch the turtle doing her thing. I'm glad you had a good time.

[@frankiebutler2894]

Many beaches along the NC Atlantic coastline protect the turtles, her eggs, & the hatchlings until they are safely in the sea. It is a very rewarding feeling to be able to watch the babies, instinctively, be drawn to the water, & swim away. (If interested, you can see in videos on utube.) The pretty, dark pink tree you commented on is a crepe myrtle, sometimes called, “the tree of 100 days”, because it blooms June thru September. Many colors, from pink to dark red & white to purple. Enjoyed your quick, but long, trip!

[@debracramer1251]

I don't like the moving of the turtles' eggs.

When a company changes packaging, or updates the upc or things like that, the retailer will get credit to put it on clearance to get the old stuff off the shelves. Or it may be a product they are not going to stock anymore.

[@rachelfrees1268]

You can make a unique fairy garden. You have a lot of moss to incorporate into the garden, rocks, little houses, animals, small plants etc. would love to see it.

[@TimothyFrench]

The air we can wear. Love it. First time hearing that one.

[@sheilaslaney2575]

I love Hilton Head. My husband and I have been driving down from Canada to the island, since before we were married in 1994. We were just there this past April. I never get tired of it. The food, the beaches, the history, and the scenery. I was barbed by a stingray in Hilton Head in 2011. I had waded into the water and was only up to my knees when I stepped on one that was hidden in the sand. A trip to the hospital and a very uncomfortable ride back to Canada. Now when I go into the water, I do the stingray shuffle. This stops you from stepping on them and it allows the stingrays to get out of your way. P.S if you get barbed put very hot water on it. It kills the toxin.

Good find on the Sur-Jel 👏👏👏

[@tammybuffkin4338]

Love the comment on beach humidity. “ The air that you can wear”. 😂 I live in Surfside Beach SC and that’s so true. Lol. We were in the mountains a couple of weeks ago and it was hot but not humid. I loved it!

[@christinej2358]

It looked like y’all had a great time and yes, “Any day is a good day at the beach!” It always has summer showers in SC, but just sitting on a covered porch or by the window still is enjoyable. Great find on the SureJell. Glad y’all got away and had a good relaxing time together!

[@ralphstamm4456]

It is peaceful and beautiful no matter what time of year...I been there in February,still great....lovely.

[@carlapickard6579]

Looks beautiful there. So happy that you are enjoying your first summer as husband and wife. God bless.

[@sandrap3047]

Glad you got to visit HH! It’s a special place! Have lived here for 30 years. I used to own a villa at Treetops & Ocean Breeze where you stayed. Sold it years ago to build my house. Wish I had it to sell today. I work where you went to the beach. My office is right across the street from Grande Ocean.

[@thepressleygirls]

That’s so cool!

[@Suleclo]

What a great trip! I love Hilton Head - the palm trees and all the Spanish moss. I love anywhere on the Atlantic, never really liked the Gulf. I would love to be on the beach and to have some fresh seafood. Thanks for sharing your trip! 🌴

[@drawingdead9025]

You like dark sand over pure white sugar sand and water where you can't see the bottom 2 feet down instead of it being clear as a pool?

[@Suleclo]

@@drawingdead9025 Yes. I like the bigger waves and knowing how far it is to the other side. I like seeing the different beaches in all the states that are on the Atlantic.

[@drawingdead9025]

@@Suleclo Don't get me wrong, a day spent on any beach is a good day for me but personally I go for the water and you can't beat the water in most of the FL panhandle.

[@biancacox9699]

@@drawingdead9025 …yep you can’t beat the clear waters in Florida that’s for sure!!! I wished the waters at Galveston were that clear 😞

[@maree5022]

Glad you guys had a lovely break! I could taste the salt in the air, thank you for filming on your precious downtime, I really appreciate the beach and all the little critters and nature that are around, makes the trip worth it when you have the fun of fellowship with fam too xx

[@jessjulian9458]

If you ever get the chance to visit Kiawah island, just up the coast from Hiltonhead do it. It is the best on SC or NC. coast. I and my and Wife spent out honeymoon there in 1983. We have been back every year since.

[@mags102755]

It looks just fabulous! I am spoiled because I live about an hour from Cape Cod. However, those beaches are completely different. I love how the green scenery goes almost right up to the beach. That was cool to see.

[@sophiemorrison9820]

You two are making cherished memories. Good weather, great beach, great food. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers!

[@robertputt7794]

Been there twice... And never saw the main Atlantic... I Only saw the waterway on the northwest side of the Island and where y'all crossed at... Why not? Cause I'm stupid... Well, the first time I was there I flew into Savannah Georgia, and the guy that was building a house on Hilton Head picked me up at the airport... I was there to measure for a handrail inside his mansion... I spent most of the day taking notes and making templates. We went to eat lunch and I got a chance to witness to him, which was something you don't usually do if that person is a client and you are not the owner of the company... Lol... Oh well, I did anyhow, but it me blessing our food that opened up the opportunity... Something to think about... By the end of the day, I had all my stuff together and ready to head back to airport... I knew that I hadn't seen the Atlantic, but told myself I don't have time and I'll see it when I come back to put up the rails... So l left... Now take in mind, it took me 4 months to build this handrail, and I couldn't just drive to the house if I just wanted to check a measurement... I was in Memphis, and that's Hilton Head, and I got one shot to get this right... It's 70 feet of handrail between 1st and 2nd floors, at two opposite ends of this mansion... A right hand side, and a left hand side... So I was constantly nervous for 4 months straight. So when I drove back to install it, I was only thinking about whether or not it will fit... Our hotel was on the beach, and it was late when we got in, so I said to myself, I'll walk to the front of the hotel in the morning and check out the ocean... But it didn't happen... I was even more nervous the next morning... So we went straight to the house and went to work... 3 days of working and it was finally finished... Fit perfectly... So relieved, we just loaded up and headed home and this time I was almost to Atlanta when thought about the ocean... Take in mind, I was at hotel for 3 days and never walked about 50 yrs to the front side of hotel, and I could have taken short cut through the lobby... So don't put stuff off... Wish you could have seen this handrail... The owner told my boss that it was the only thing in the entire house that his wife was satisfied with... So thanks for sharing y'alls trip to the Hilton Head beach with us Austin and Corie, cause I've never seen it, until now... 😁👍👍❤❤❤ Praying for the whole family constantly... 😔🙏❤❤❤

[@thepressleygirls]

I must know what this handrail was made out of?! What an awesome story! Sorry you didn’t get to see the ocean though. Thanks for watching! ☺️

[@craftlover9702]

Enjoyed the video! Hobby Lobby has some cute fairy garden items to start your fairy garden.

[@susiecox8413]

I love the beach too! Enjoyed the video, Thanks for sharing!!

[@maryeliason1504]

Thank you so much for sharing. Nice getaway. Beautiful place. I used to visit the ocean at least once a month til I moved up north to the mts. Now the coast is 4 hours away. SO THIS WAS A REAL TREAT. Thank you so much.

[@patrickrwhite8354]

What a beautiful trip and the Beach was my favorite part. Here in AB we don't have many beaches in fact if you go to the beach you must drive for miles before you reach one and if it isn't full of algae you are lucky. Thanks for Posting your two love birds. So nice to see you enjoying each other's company

[@Sunflowermom77]

Thank you for sharing, looks like y’all had an awesome time ❤ so Beautiful 😍

[@rolandpinette9946]

Welcome back, Corie and Austin. It's nice to get away, but it's always great to come home!

[@thepressleygirls]

☺️

[@robinkline5600]

It is a pretty area. We were at Foley Beach which is close by to where you were. I think that tree with the pink flowers is a crepe myrtle. Also love seeing pelicans flying. You can't see them at the jersey coast. Thanks for taking us along for part of your trip.

[@MayanDream]

I do believe if I could get motivated to pack all my stuff Hilton Head would become my new home. You're right about the combination of greenery, sand, and surf. That's most unusual and the greenery is the one thing I missed when living in Florida. HH looks like a low key paradise. Thanks for the heads up.

[@aferguson5403]

The sound of the water is soooo relaxing.

[@SouthernArtist77]

The low country sure has good seafood including shrimp and grits, yummy!!!

[@sterlingashley1965]

You'uns are welcome here at HHI SC anytime. As much as I love the music and dancing, I enjoy the Pressley girl accents more than anything.

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you! ☺️

I love exploring the islands from Hilton Head all the way down to Amelia Island in Florida. Jekyll is my favorite and is highly recommended :)

Enjoy your videos and happy to see a young couple enjoying their married life. You mentioned Publix in your video. Publix is a fabulous grocery store. The Jenkins family has been extremely philanthropic in our community. I came from from very humble beginnings, but my mother recognized Publix as a place she wanted to purchase our groceries (late 1950’s). They offer buy one get one free items consistently, and provide quality products. I have several friends who have or continue to be employed with this organization. Shopping at Publix is a pleasure. 😊

[@cherylatkinson7479]

Glad ya'll had a good time. Beautiful area you were at a stark contrast from your mountain home. Love eating fresh seafood too. We get it easily because we live not far from the coast. That little fairy garden was cute. Mom and dad said in their 4th video that they rather be hiking in the woods.

[@maryl8132]

I agree it’s definitely hard to spot where things are. It’s almost like they don’t want the signs to be noticeable. Can’t tell you how many places we drove by before actually finding the store or restaurant that we were trying to find.

[@darlingusa2pettee57]

Corie, you did a totally beautiful job of filming all aspects of the beach trip. A special talent in itself! We used to do a beach week usually at the Outer Banks every summer and tried to make it on or around July 4th. Wonderful memories, but that was from going from the east coast and now living nearer the west coast, I miss it sooo much. California beaches are within 3-5 hours drive but aren't warm and beautiful to me so that's only a rare trip these days.Thanks for sharing. and BTW, I agree ....the seafood on the beach is one of the best treats ever!

[@thepressleygirls]

Thank you!

[@jimmymalone3494]

What a great trip it look like y'all had good time.I enjoyed very much.I love the palm trees an God Bless you all .thank you for sharing with us.

So glad you had a good time at Hilton Head & thanks for taking us along. The beach & water looked so clean. The stingray pictures were awesome. I've never seen a "real" one in person & didn't realize they would get into that shallow of water. Wedding cookies are easy to make & oh so yummy. Great find on the pectin...you can never have too much of it. Hugs to you both!

What was that crazy sting ray doin'?! Thanks Corie!

[@mrs.stocky2445]

Best fresh food there is at Hudsons. They bring the shrimp boat in and cook them that day. It’s great!!

[@pennyholland4512]

Hilton Head is indeed a treat to visit. Great snag finding the pectin on clearance. Like you, I figure most people on-island are there to vacation and aren't canning on holiday. Those Siete brand cookies are the bomb. Try the other flavors as well. They're all tasty. Glad y'all had the opportunity to enjoy some beach-time.

[@Jean-ko4xv]

What a beautiful trip ya'll had. and a Great buy. God Bless. Jean

Love Hilton Head and to watch the dolphins. The place doesn’t allow a bunch of signs so is clean looking. My mother used to make Mexican wedding Cakes. Yum.

Was just there a week n a half ago. It rained alot, but it's pretty. Last year it didn't rain at all though , not once, so I guess I had that one a coming lol

[@johncarter1137]

Hilton Head was planned to have a more natural setting and to be more laid back than most beach areas. It's a great place to bicycle ride also, with plenty of biking and walking trails. I remember going to Hilton Head with my dad starting back in the late 60s. We subbed work from Hargray Telephone Company, mainly climbing their microwave transmission tower, which is no longer there, to maintain it. Back then, Hwy 278 was two lanes and the bridge to the island was a two lane draw bridge. Not much traffic then compared to the traffic nightmare that exists today.

[@robinchanteusedylan8326]

Fond memories of HHI, used to go to there each Sept. the week after Labor Day, cheaper rates, no crowds, still nice & warm. 😀 Oh, man, those cookies are so dang good, the chocolate ones are awesome! Yacketts! 😀 Thanks for posting this wonderful video. God bless y'all. 💕

[@HolmansHomestead]

[@jama17gill]

So happy that you guys had a wonderful trip!!! Looks like a beautiful place, and the food looked great!!! Every year, my 2 Sons and I vacation in Duluth, Minnesota for 5 days for a Christian music festival called, City On The Hill. We stay at the South Pier Inn, so, we can watch all the huge ships come in. We get a room on the canal and lift bridge side. Look both up. It is an amazing place. It is on Lake Superior, and not too far from the Canadian border - about 150 miles. You can also watch all the ships on the yt Duluth Canal Cam and the Duluth Aerial Bridge Cam channels.

We used to go to Gulf Port, MS as a kid and Destin, FL as an adult. Went to South Carolina once. Really miss going to the beach and swimming in the ocean. The last time I went to a beach, where you can actually swim, was in Hawaii, six years ago. But it’s just not the same (still really nice, but I prefer Florida or North & South Carolina).
