About
CoCo's on the Beach is one of those experiences that makes a Hilton Head trip unforgettable. This beachfront spot perfectly blends excellent food with fantastic drinks and reasonable prices. The moment you arrive, you'll understand why locals and visitors keep coming back. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend an entire afternoon soaking up the island vibes.
Location
You'll find CoCo's right where the Robert Trent Jones golf course meets the beach. It's tucked away at the Hilton Head Resort, which means you get that exclusive resort feel without the resort prices. The location is absolutely perfect - you're literally steps from the sand with gorgeous ocean views. The golf course backdrop adds a unique touch you won't find at other beach bars on the island.
Must-Try Menu Items
The peanut butter burger is a game-changer. We were skeptical at first, but trust us on this one - it's incredible. The shrimp po boy is another standout that hits all the right notes. For drinks, the key lime daiquiri is phenomenal and the pina colada buckets are dangerously strong (they use double shots). Don't skip the cheese sticks either - they're surprisingly perfect beach food. The mushroom Swiss burger and chili cheese fries round out a solid meal that'll keep you satisfied for hours.
Unique Features
What sets CoCo's apart is its stunning location right on the beach next to a championship golf course. The bold, colorful decorations create this fun, tropical atmosphere that screams vacation mode. Everything's cooked to order, so you know you're getting fresh, quality food. The counter-service setup keeps things casual and relaxed - no stuffy restaurant vibes here.
Vibe
CoCo's has that laid-back beach bar energy that's perfect for families, couples, or groups of friends. It's casual enough for a post-beach lunch but special enough for sunset drinks. The people-watching is fantastic, and the staff genuinely seems to love what they do. This place attracts everyone from golfers grabbing a quick bite to families spending the whole afternoon. It's definitely not a quiet, romantic spot - it's lively and fun.
Insider Tips
