Hilton Head Island Eagle Cams
Two bald eagle nests on the island. The Sea Pines Forest Preserve streams its nest live, and the pair rebuild it each fall before laying eggs around December.

Common questions
What is the best webcam on Hilton Head Island?
It depends what you want to see. For the beach, the Sea Pines Beach Club cam and Palmetto Dunes' Dunes House cam are the most reliable. For the island's most recognizable landmark, the two Harbour Town Lighthouse cams cover the marina and lighthouse. For golf, Harbour Town Clubhouse and Heron Point by Pete Dye both stream live.
Is there a live webcam of Coligny Beach?
Not a dedicated one. The nearest cam is the Sea Pines Beach Club cam just south of Coligny.
Where can I watch the Harbour Town Lighthouse live?
Two cams cover it: the Harbour Town Lighthouse Livestream looks toward the lighthouse and marina from across the water, and the Harbour Town Lighthouse Cam is on the lighthouse's own top balcony and looks down on the boats in the marina.
Are there live traffic cameras for Hilton Head Island?
Yes — Beaufort County DOT cams cover the bridge onto the island, Sea Pines Circle, the Cross Island Parkway, and Hwy 278 at Mathews Drive, so you can check traffic before you drive. All 23 county cams on the way onto the island, from Bluffton to the south end, are on our Hilton Head traffic cameras page.
Is there a lot of traffic on Hilton Head Island today?
It varies by season and time of day — the bridge onto the island, Sea Pines Circle, and Hwy 278 are the usual pinch points, worst on weekend check-in/ check-out days in summer. Check the traffic cameras above for what it looks like right now before you head out.
