A Coastal Christmas is a Christmas shop at Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina on Hilton Head Island that stays open all year. The shelves hold thousands of ornaments, Santas, nutcrackers and collectibles, with beach-themed holiday decor alongside the traditional pieces, from collectors’ names such as Christopher Radko, Karen Didion, Jim Shore and Old World Christmas, and ornaments made for the store alone. Many visitors pick one ornament to remember the trip.

A family bought the business in 2024 and also runs stores on River Street in Savannah and in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, and an online shop. Parking at the harbour is free. The harbour’s other shops are in our Shelter Cove Harbour shops and restaurants directory, and the island’s in our Hilton Head shopping guide.
