Where it is
Get directionsHilton Head Ice Cream is a small homemade ice cream shop at 55 New Orleans Road, on the south end of the island near Coligny. The shop says it has been making its own ice cream since 1982, for visitors and for local restaurants, and the case shows it: many flavors scooped from the tubs behind the glass. For homemade fudge and candy, the Hilton Head candy and fudge shops are a short drive away.
