It’s often difficult to find a waterfront restaurant with great sunset views on the east coast of the United States because, as we all know, the sun sets in the west. Since the Atlantic Ocean is to the east, that means any restaurants facing that ocean might be great for sunrise but aren’t so great for sunset.

However, the Sunset Grille in Hilton Head, South Carolina has solved that problem by situating itself on the western side of Hilton Head Island. This restaurant is on the side of the island facing the mainland United States which means it’s in a perfect location to watch the sunset – every night, all year round.

Not only that, but the food at the Sunset Grille is spectacular too, and many visitors consider it to be one of the very best restaurants on the island. Due to limited advertising, many people don’t even know it’s there, but those who do know that it’s one of Hilton Head’s best-kept secrets. Don’t miss it! Read on to learn more.

The Sunset Grille was established in 1996 by High and Linda Lockman. It serves fine dining cuisine in a casual atmosphere. Whether you're visiting Hilton Head on vacation or if you're a resident here, you're going to love this place.
