Skull Creek Boathouse

Restaurants in North End, Hilton Head Island, SC

North End

Skull Creek Boathouse occupies one of the best waterfront positions on Hilton Head Island — a sprawling deck on Skull Creek at the North End where the Intracoastal Waterway opens up and the sunsets are genuinely worth planning around. The restaurant is part of the Skull Creek Dockside family and draws a broad crowd: visitors who want the full waterfront experience, locals who come for the raw bar and live music, and boaters who tie up at the dock and walk straight in. The menu is built around fresh local seafood — steamed oysters, shrimp and grits, crab cakes, a raw bar stocked daily — alongside a full bar program that handles the volume of a busy waterfront crowd without cutting corners. Dolphins are a regular presence in the creek, particularly in the late afternoon. Live music runs most weekends and some weeknights; the outdoor deck fills up fast on warm evenings. If you're arriving by boat, the dock tie-up is a genuine option. Call (843) 681-3663 or check skullcreekboathouse.com for current hours and live music schedule.
