What is Coligny?
Co
Anyone having been to
Hilton Head Island* or heard someone talk about Hilton Head have heard the word
Coligny. But what is it?
Coligny Plaza is a
cluster of beachside hotels, bike paths, shops and restaurants. Located on the southern end of Hilton Head
Island, at the end of Pope Avenue, on the Atlantic Ocean and about two miles
from Sea Pines Ocean Gate.
Coligny started as the
island’s only place for vacationers to pick up what they needed for their
Hilton Head Island beach vacation.
Almost seventy years later, it’s far from the only place, but it’s still
a popular place on Hilton Head Island for shopping, dining and entertainment.
At Coligny, you’ll find more than 60 specialty shops and restaurants
offering something for everyone. You’ll find fun and excitement right by the
beach, just like millions of locals and visitors have. Unwind with an ice cream
cone, swing on a bench by the beach, eyeing the parade of sandy visitors as
they go by on foot and bike. Watch the
children play in the sprinklers that greet them as they enter the beach. Walk among the shops, find something to eat,
pick up a souvenir or buy anything you might have left at home. On warm nights, people gather in the
center of the plaza where you will be entertained by local talents and dancing and
singing by young and old is encourage.
Should it rain, Coligny even has a movie theatre.
Coligny,
*Hilton Head Island is part
of the Lowcountry region in the state of South Carolina. It's known for
Atlantic Ocean beaches, its natural beauty, gated residential communities, golf
courses and tennis courts.
