Tiki Hut is at 1 South Forest Beach Drive, right on the sand at Coligny Beach. It has been an island icon since 1977, and it calls itself the only beachfront live-music venue on Hilton Head. Two thatched huts, a deck with umbrellas and a fire pit area sit steps from the ocean. People come here for a tiki bar on Hilton Head with real beach views, and the crowds are casual, in flip-flops and swimsuits.

What to Order at Tiki Hut

Frozen drinks are the reason most people come: reviewers name the Lava Flow, the Tiki lemonade, the Sailor Punch and the Miami Vice, and the operator promotes a Rum Runner made with Blue Chair Bay rum. Food is bar food: pulled pork nachos, chicken nachos, cocktail shrimp, coconut shrimp, chicken tacos, hot wings and brisket tots. For the current list, use the menu button above.

Live Music, Seating and Waits
