Hilton Head Tides

Hilton Head Island and the surrounding areas see some of the biggest tide changes on the Eastern Seaboard. It averages about 7 feet of change between high and low tide, and can at times see a 8 to 12 foot difference.
Here, a picture of a sunken boat on Hilton Head's Intracoastal waterway. One picture taken in the spring at low tide. The other picture taken today near high tide.
