Swimming Pools

Swimming at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa is just one of many activities you can enjoy with your friends and family. Whether you are looking to swim laps or to perfect your cannon ball, we have a pool for you. Our resort offers three unique outdoor pools.

Our main resort pool is our largest swimming pool and is certainly one of the most popular. This fun-shaped pool has a designated lap lane for those looking to practice their form and endurance. Located next to Turtles Beach Bar & Grill, enjoying a refreshing tropical drink is just steps away.... or enjoy poolside service from one of our friendly servers.

The smaller and more intimate Round Pool is great for families and young swimmers. Nestled within the gardens of the resort, you can enjoy the serene surroundings as you catch up on your reading.

Who said you can't swim in the rain? Our outdoor heated Covered Pool is perfect for rainy days and for those looking to stay in the shade.

For another experience, venture into the lush gardens between all three pools and discover relaxation redefined with our outdoor heated whirlpool.

Complimentary towels are available at the Tiki Hut located by Oceans.

Swimming hours: 7:00 am - 10:00 pm (weather permitting)

Beach

Don't forget about nature's very own swimming pool... the ocean! Hilton Head Island has over 12 miles of pristine sandy public beaches along the Atlantic Ocean and they are right over the sand dunes bordering our oceanside resort. There's plenty to do on the beaches of Hilton Head Island.  Enjoy a walk on the flat sandbanks of the Atlantic Ocean, wade in the surf, collect sea shells, build a sand castle, catch up on your reading, or even go for a bike ride.

Hilton Head Island's shoreline is home to many varieties of animal life, all which are an important part of our coastal ecosystem.  At any time, you may see ghost crabs, hermit crabs, horseshoe crabs, sand dollars, starfish, jellyfish, dolphins, and loggerhead sea turtles.  We hope you'll enjoy observing these creatures when you cross paths.  However, you must leave them where you find them because local law prohibits the removal of live animals from their natural habitat.

For your maximum enjoyment of the beaches, please be sure to read the beach guidelines posted at the end of the resort boardwalk.  If you should have any questions or need assistance while at the beach, please see the Beach Patrol or lifeguards on duty.
