The Salty Dog Cafe

232 S Sea Pines Dr, Hilton Head Island, SC 29928, USA

This iconic cafe likely makes more through their t-shirt business than their food, but their emblematic clothing wouldn’t be so popular if the food weren’t up to snuff. Located deep in the Sea Pines neighborhood, near South Beach, the Salty Dog is part of a marina with small shops. Nosh on a salad, sandwich, or basket of seafood while enjoying the view over the creek, and then head home with a dog wearing a fisherman’s hat proudly across your back. A visit here is practically requisite during any trip to Hilton Head. The brand has expanded across the island, including Salty Dog pizza and ice cream joints.
