Hilton Head Island Fishing Spots Details
#1 - Jarvis Creek Park
Jarvis Creek is one of our favorite spots if you’re visiting Hilton Head with the family. This beautiful park is centered around a large pond of water where you can fish from the banks or you can cast a reel from the fishing dock.
Bass is one of the most popular fish you’ll find in the park. In addition to being able to fish, Jarvis Creek features fitness trails, grassy fields, public grills, picnic tables, restrooms, and a playground. All of these amenities make it perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
#2 - Hilton Head Lagoons
Another inshore option for catching some great fish are the lagoons found within Palmetto Dunes and Sea Pines. These communities are home to lagoon systems filled with Redfish, Trout, Tarpon, Black Drum, and Flounder. While these lagoons aren’t quite as extreme as offshore fishing, many visitors prefer the picturesque and serene landscapes that these options offer. Kayaks, canoes, duffy boats and the like are welcome on the Hilton Head Lagoons. You can access the lagoons by staying in a Palmetto Dunes vacation home.
