Visiting Hilton Head

Hilton Head Island is in South Carolina. It’s known for Atlantic Ocean beaches. We will post some images captured on the beaches during our visit there in February 2026.

During the early-sunset walk on Barony Beach, we saw these boats stranded on the beach, with the bright sun behind them.

Glimpse of Sunset at Baker Beach

Baker Beach has one of the best sunset views in San Francisco as the sun reflects on the bridge. While we were there on a foggy evening, a slight break in the clouds let in some light. Swimmers were in the water watching the light in the clouds.

Sunset light illuminated the clouds over the Golden Gate Bridge, providing a surreal image.
