We're breaking down where to sip your cocktails with a vista this summer on Hilton Head Island. The island has countless restaurants and bars with spectacular views, and here are a few of our favorites.

This oceanfront restaurant and bar at the Sea Pines Beach Club has stunning views of Hilton Head sunsets, and smack dab on the beach. After your beach day, head to Coast Oceanfront Dining for live music, food, and drinks. The second-floor lounge, pictured above, is a bit more polished with a resort attire dress code and the views are stunning.
Skull Creek Boathouse

This Hilton Head mainstay, the Skull Creek Boathouse, has charmed visitors and locals for a long time. Play cornhole with the family, walk out on the dock to enjoy the view, listen to live music, or just sip your drink and watch the sun go down.

If you don’t mind crowds, this classic café is a Hilton Head icon. You can’t leave the island without getting a Salty Dog Café shirt or hanging on the porch, sipping a drink, and picking out your favorite boat in the South Beach Marina.
Skull Creek Dockside

Skull Creek Dockside is part of the Serg Group, which owns many of the spots on this list. Dockside was recently renovated, and the design was done by locally revered architect Tom Parker. The updated restaurant does justice to its gorgeous view, where you can hang out on the large patio with friends and enjoy colorful Lowcountry sunsets.

With direct water views and live oaks dripping in Spanish moss, Fishcamp on Broad Creek is a prime location for drinks, views, and boat anodes. Not to mention, the atmosphere is completely charming with live music and more. You’ll understand why Fishcamp is loved by visitors and locals alike.

Quarterdeck Waterfront Dining has great views of the Harbour Town Yacht Basin. It is situated right below the iconic Hilton Head Lighthouse, so after your drink, you can make the trek upstairs for a 360 view of the island.
