The Salty Pelican

Restaurants in Harbour Town, Hilton Head Island, SC

Harbour Town

The Salty Pelican sits on Lighthouse Road in Sea Pines, steps from the Harbour Town marina and the island's most recognizable landmark — the red-and-white striped Harbour Town Lighthouse. The setting does a lot of the work: Calibogue Sound views, boats moving in and out of the marina, and the kind of late-afternoon light that makes a cold beer taste better than it has any right to. The menu is straightforward coastal bar food — steamed shrimp, fish sandwiches, cold drinks — executed without pretense in a come-as-you-are atmosphere that fits the marina crowd. It draws a mix of boaters, golfers finishing a round at Harbour Town Golf Links nearby, and visitors who wander over from the lighthouse. Live music on select nights keeps the energy up into the evening. Sea Pines gate access is required for non-resort guests; day passes are available at the gate. Call (843) 363-2198 or visit saltypelicanhhisc.com for current hours and music schedule.
