National Earth Day is on April 22, 2025 and is a celebration around the globe to promote ways of sustainable living and environmental awareness for the betterment of our planet. This day is all about empowering individuals to make more environmentally-conscious decisions in their everyday lives. Read below about practices and products that encourage environmentally friendly choices for your next Hilton Head Island Vacation.

Make a Positive Impact on the Environment while you Kayak* or Bike Hilton Head

Make a positive impact on the environment by making these environmentally conscious choices during your next Hilton Head bike ride or kayak trip here at Palmetto Dunes Resort:

• Leave no trace principles such as carrying out all your trash during your trip

• Bring an empty bag to pick up others trash along the way

• Use a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic bottle

• Respect wildlife & maintain a safe distance from animals & others

While you enjoy a Hilton Head Island bike ride, take care of the planet. Choosing to bike ride as a means of transportation, instead of a car, can help minimize our air pollution, conserve resources and promote sustainability.

*Currently lagoon kayak & canoe rentals are unavailable to book online Mondays - Fridays for the next 4 - 6 weeks starting April 1 until the Queens Way Bridge repairs are complete. Please call 866-380-1783 for availability.

Reduce your Plastic Footprint with a Reusable Water Bottle

Head across the way to the Palmetto Dunes General Store and swap out your plastic water bottle for a water bottle. Take it with you to the tennis & pickleball courts, golf course, bike ride or beach day. These could also make for a great Hilton Head Island souvenir too.

Protect Your Skin and Our Ocean with Sun Bum Sunscreen

When you visit the beach at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island, we encourage you to stock up on Sun Bum sunscreen which protects your skin from the sun and the ocean water as well. Research has shown that certain chemicals in sunscreen, such as Oxybenzone free and Octinoxate, are poisoning coral reefs. Sun Bum’s sunscreen is Oxybenzone free and Octinoxate free. Keep your skin safe this year and wear Sun Bum!
