Palmetto Bay Marina
One of the oldest marinas on the island, Palmetto Bay has been running since 1958 and packs a lot into its 150 wet slips — fuel, water sports, fishing charters, and dining all in one spot. You can grab a meal or catch some live music without going far, making it a lively hub rather than just a place to tie up. The family-friendly atmosphere keeps things relaxed, and its location on Hilton Head puts you close to the island's beaches and shops.
