The Coastal Discovery Museum is an all-ages museum designed to teach visitors about the unique ecosystems and cultures found on Hilton Head Island and the surrounding areas. Wander among the nature paths to learn about the area's unique, diverse plant and animal life, or stop in at the attached barn to meet some Marsh Tacky horses, a rare breed of horse that was developed in this area of South Carolina. Inside the main building, you'll find plentiful exhibits about the region's unique cultural heritage. If you visit between May and October, be sure to stop by the butterfly habitat, where you'll see countless native butterflies congregating.
