Hilton Head is home to a surprising variety of coastal wildlife. Dolphins are commonly spotted from beaches and boat tours, while marshes support herons, egrets, ospreys, pelicans, roseate spoonbills on occasion, and countless shorebirds. Visitors also frequently encounter sea turtles during nesting season, horseshoe crabs, fiddler crabs, and even American alligators in freshwater lagoons and ponds throughout the island.
