cultural, business and social fabric.
There is something for

Head Island Visitor & Convention Bureau
Hilton Head Island is a
foot-shaped barrier island located off the
Atlantic Coast of South Carolina, approximately
45 miles north of Savannah, Georgia, 90 miles
south of Charleston, South Carolina and 30 miles
south of historic Beaufort, South Carolina. The
12-mile long and 5-mile wide island was the
first Eco-planned destination in the United
States.
Lying on the Intracoastal
Waterway, Hilton Head Island encompasses 42
square miles of semi-tropical, Low Country
geography. The Island's pristine natural
environment offers a relaxing, hospitable
atmosphere with subtle signage and no neon
lights. Fertile salt marshes, networks of
lagoons and creeks, forests of moss-draped oaks,
magnolias, pines, palmettos and 12 miles of
sandy beaches are interspersed with championship
golf courses, tennis courts, fine restaurants
and luxurious hotels, resorts and private villa
accommodations.

Reno, Nevada

Think Reno adventure and
often people think blackjack and 24-hour neon
lights. However, few think about the more than
960 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails,
300-plus days of sunshine, in addition to
outdoor adventure from water activities to hang
gliding and more than 50 golf courses within 90
minutes of the Reno-Tahoe International Airport.
In other words, Reno-Tahoe takes its claim as
America’s Adventure Place seriously.
Having Lake Tahoe and several
other surrounding lakes in proximity to downtown
Reno, vacationers will find a plethora of water
activities. From boating and testing out the
latest watercraft toys to canoeing, sailing and
fishing, Reno-Tahoe offers it all, plus a
whitewater park in the heart of downtown Reno.
The park is both Nevada’s and the region’s first
whitewater park and kayak slalom racing course
and invites kayak enthusiasts of all abilities
to test out the water.
