We saw a sign for some church ruins. How could I not go? These ruins are owned by a private owner and can be walked around free of charge.

Known also as the Sheldon Church or Old Sheldon Church, the building was originally known as Prince William's Parish Church. The church was built as a chapel of ease in the English Georgian style, using the Roman Tuscan or Doric order, between 1745 and 1753.

The traditional understanding is that Prince William's was burned by the British in 1779 during the Revolutionary War, rebuilt in 1826, and then burned again in 1865 during the Civil War:

Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island

10/10 Excellent

"The resort is very clean and well maintained. Lots of seating areas to have conversations. The outdoor hot tub was warm, gentle, and relaxing. There was also relaxing music playing. There are two pools one for families and another for adults. The beach is just steps away. You can rent a bike at the resort and head to the beach for a ride. It is $30 for 1 hour or $35 for 4 hours. The room was a nice comfortable size. We had a resort view, while not being ocean front was still a good view. We ordered breakfast in the restaurant and it was delicious! "
