Set against the backdrop of Hilton Head’s lush maritime forest and coastal ecosystems, the experience is as much about community and connection as it is about technique.

The Coastal Discovery Museum is more than a typical museum; it serves as a hub for engaging with Hilton Head’s unique environment through inventive, tactile experiences. The workshops frequently incorporate local elements—from natural materials found along the salt marsh edges to interpretations of the area's Gullah heritage.

Attendees learn to wield new tools across a variety of mediums, crafting one-of-a-kind projects that reflect the spirit of the Lowcountry.

This hands-on approach to learning is ideal for anyone seeking to enrich their visit with active creativity, whether you’re on a family trip, a solo getaway, or a group outing. It’s an excellent complement to the outdoor recreational offerings of Hilton Head Island, providing an indoor retreat where curiosity leads the way.
