The Crazy Crab Harbour Town is the family seafood restaurant on the Harbour Town Marina, a few steps from the lighthouse. It has been a local standby for more than 30 years, and the dining room, hung with lanterns, life rings, nets and an old diving suit, looks out over the boats.

People also search for it as Crazy Crab Harbour Town, the Crazy Crab - Harbour Town, and Crazy Crab Sea Pines. There is a second Crazy Crab at Jarvis Creek, mid-island, outside the gate; this is the one in Harbour Town, inside Sea Pines.

The Crazy Crab Harbour Town Menu

The menu is built on Lowcountry recipes, and each plate is cooked to order. The Alaskan snow crab legs are the signature and have won local awards several years running. The restaurant keeps its Harbour Town menus on its own site, behind the menu button above.

Crazy Crab Harbor Town Hilton Head with Kids

This is an easy dinner with children. Right outside the door are the lighthouse, a big playground and, in summer, live music, so there is something to do before and after the meal. The restaurant takes reservations through the reserve button above, which is worth using in the busy months.

Getting There
