Celebrate Independence Day with a moving tribute to the U.S. military during Salute from the Shore, a patriotic flyover that stretches along South Carolina’s coast. On July 4, fighter jets will soar above the beach in a coordinated show of support, making their pass over Hilton Head Island around 1:30 PM.
The best place to watch on the island is from the sand near the Sea Pines Beach Club. Everyone is encouraged to bring flags, wear red, white, and blue, and join in the salute as the jets roar overhead.
