Just across Georgia's border lies Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. It is a vacation playland with famous beaches and great golf courses that overlook the Atlantic Ocean. However during COVID-19 times, the fun was ofcourse super limited. Our trip was mainly about the drive, and probably to get some fresh air after ending our internships!

Approximately 300 miles from Atlanta, the trip to Hilton Head from Atlanta although long was pretty scenic!

What happens when you have a wind storm forming for next day and there are not many people on the beach!
