"Burkes Beach allows you to traverse Hilton Head Island’s idyllic coast. Wind along the Atlantic Ocean and snake slightly inland on a sandy path to Chaplin Community Park. If you’re lucky enough to be at Burkes Beach for high tide, you’ll notice water from the Atlantic flowing into a salt marsh, creating a makeshift creek to walk along." - Travel + Leisure Editors
