The Town of Hilton Head Island provides nearly 60 miles of public pathways and nature trails for the enjoyment of pedestrians and cyclists.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ON THE PATHS:

• Obey all traffic signals and pathway markings. Stop signs must be obeyed for safety. Bicycles are vehicles and must obey SC traffic laws.

• Travel the pathways at speeds that allow for the safety of pedestrians and other users.

• Never ride within the roadway against traffic. State law requires bicycles to drive like all other vehicles.

• Do not ride on roads when a pathway is available.

• Ride single file and keep a safe distance from other bicyclists.

• WATCH OUT FOR MOTORISTS! Motorists must yield to pedestrians and bicyclists within marked crossings, but they may not see you.

RECREATIONAL PATHWAYS GUIDE

• Yield to pedestrians. When resting or stopped, please move off the pathway.

• Most sections of the pathways are not illuminated. If you must bike at night, please wear light-colored clothing or carry a flashlight. Bicycles must have a red rear reflector and a headlight when biking at night.

• When approaching slower pathway users from behind, please sound your warning device, or call out, “Passing on your left.” Always pass on the left.

• Bicyclists should always wear a helmet, especially children 12 and under.

• Make eye contact and use hand signals. Assume other bicyclists and motorists don’t see you. Hand signals tell motorists and other path users what you intend to do and will ensure everyone’s safety on the paths.

• Be courteous, alert and predictable.

• WHITE DIAMONDS INDICATE RESTRICTED TRAVEL LANE: Travel with the flow of traffic.

• WHITE STRIPE & STOP SIGN INDICATE ROAD CROSSING: Stop and look for motorists.

• YELLOW CENTER LINE INDICATES TWO-WAY TRAFFIC: Keep to the right.

• SEVERAL WHITE DIAGONAL STRIPES INDICATE A CROSSWALK: Watch out for other bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists.

• At low tide, the Island’s 12 miles of beaches are ideal for biking. Public beaches are indicated on the Island Events map.

• Our map also shows the existing public pathways. Many kiosks are located along the pathways with an Island-wide map on one side and a localized map of the area on the other.

HOROSCOPE MARCH 2024

ARIES Spring is in the air, Aries! Get ready for a new emotional awakening. Be prepared for love, but wary of the testiness heightened emotions can bring. Rely on your sense of humor to break the tension and keep everyone on an even keel. This time of sensitivity could be an awesome opportunity to heal old grievances.

TAURUS Courage is your theme for March. If you’ve still got mountains to climb, now is your time. Use this time to make new connections and find opportunities for personal growth. But don’t forget about your loved ones! Pickup the phone, plan lunches and get togethers & spend time with your family and friends.

GEMINI High energy and renewal of those fitness goals are on your horizon, Gemini. Be careful not to over-do it! Allow your creativity to re-awaken, whether that means tackling new projects, getting loved ones together or just getting organized. Use this burst of energy and inspiration to improve your life and your surroundings.

CANCER Rest and peace are what you need this month! Recharge those batteries and let your creative uices flow. Guard your time and allow some space for self-care. Remember, you are in charge of your response and how you allow others to impact you. Don’t let those who aren’t truly grateful steal your precious energy.

LEO Your enthusiasm is an asset this month, Leo! Use it to rise to every challenge and excel, but be careful not to overextend yourself. Remember, your confidence and excitement can be intimidating. Be gentle with others, but don’t allow their reticence to hold back your success. Tackle the obstacles you’ve yet to master and maybe take time for yoga or meditation to balance your zest.

VIRGO Your brain is set to maximum speed this month! Challenge yourself to learn something new or a skill you’ve hoped to master. Your creativity will be bountiful, but don’t allow yourself to be overworked. Balance is crucial to maintaining this level of positive output. Go to bed early and rise with the sun to get your exercise in and really take advantage of this month.

LIBRA Get ready for big changes and positive momentum in March, Libra! Prepare for success with plenty of rest and exercise or meditation. Be alert that change and the shift in your routine could increase anxiety and irritability, but know that these changes are for the good! Work on your focus and communication.

SCORPIO Guard your heart this month, Scorpio! Your abilities as an empath could leave you vulnerable. Your intuitiveness and concern for others is a gift. Remember how much it allows you to connect with others! Take time for self-care, and remember your fitness and meditation. Your gifts are still there, but this month allow yourself some well-deserved grace.

SAGITTARIUS Positivity is radiating from you this month! Friends and loved ones will be vying for your time. Pair it with your sense of humor and it could mean really positive things. Those needing your help could put themselves in vulnerable situations. Remind them of their worth, then remind you of yours.

CAPRICORN Remember who you are, Capricorn! Feelings of doubt could creep in on the romance front, but you are amazing and worthy of only the best. Spend your energy on something that brings you joy. Do not let temporary moments of despair distract you from possible exciting surprises! If those surprises come from sources you don’t prefer, step away kindly.

AQUARIUS This is the month to tackle new skills. Your mind will be racing in March. Take advantage of it! Want to freshen up your Spanish? Get an app. Want to revisit your guitar skills? Subscribe to that YouTube channel. The stars are aligned to open your mind to learning. Remember to spend some time on your relationships too.

PISCES Listen to your inner voice, Pisces! You are more intuitive than you know and the way you care for others is admirable. Your confidence and generosity will swell this month, but don’t allow yourself to be swamped by high demands. The more you remember your peace, the more your rewards and calm will grow.

In of Sheepshead

Photo and article by Miles Altman, Bay Runner Fishing Charters

With warmer waters that fuel an abundance of angling opportunities, March heralds the promise of spring and a new fishing season here on the Island. Having fished for everything from bream in small ponds to blue marlin in the deep blue of the Gulf Stream, I can say with confidence that one fishery in particular always shines this month, and it’s near the top of my favorites: sheepshead.

Sheepshead can be caught year round in our local waters mainly around docks and bridges, structures that have an abundance of barnacle and oyster growth. Very fond of shellfish and equipped with teeth that nimbly crush the aforementioned shells, they gnash their way to the succulent meats inside. Usually in late February and March, they migrate to our nearshore reefs—to spawn I believe, as almost all the big females I catch offshore are full of roe. With this migration and the ensuing congregation on the reefs, catching sheepshead in larger numbers is possible, especially with a secure anchorage over the structure. Trolling motors and GPS spot lock make this much easier.

Fiddler crabs are my choice of bait for

sheepshead, though oysters, clams and mussels are good too (if somewhat harder to keep on the hook). But the fiddler is far from foolproof, as the wily sheep will gently suck the crab in, crush it and spit out your hook without you even feeling the slightest tug! Mentors often tell rookies to set the hook before the bite. To catch more, keep a little tension on your line, occasionally tugging gently in search of the resistance that signals Mr. Sheep has got your crab. Once you feel that, set the hook with all the vigor of a freshwater bass fisherman.

Catching sheepshead is not only an angling challenge but also a highly delicious prospect. If you’re lucky enough to drive the hook home in that bony mouth full of teeth, you will be rewarded with as good a fight as any. Best of all, sheepshead is some of the best eating in the ocean!

GOLF: It’s a Game of Opposites

By Doug Weaver, Director of Instruction Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy

Tiger Woods may have said it best… Page 116 in his How I Play Golf howto book says that scientifically golf is a game of opposites.

Opposite (dictionary.com) Contrary or radically different in some respect common to both, as in nature, qualities, direction, result or significance.

rgo, the harder you try the worse you play and swing fast the ball goes slow.

My fifty-five years of golf mean I know this law of golf opposites better than most.

When you look up the ball goes down. When you swing to the left, the ball goes right. When you swing to the right, the ball goes left.

It may seem counterintuitive, but concurring these opposites is a matter of relaxation relaxed muscles move faster than tense muscles.

This game of golf that I love is all about relaxing, not pressing or tension.

Conquer your golf game by learning to relax.

A good golfer puts that lesson into each stage of the game, he is literally more relaxed at the end of the game than he was at the beginning because every shot is an exercise in relaxation.

If this uxtapose seems daunting The golf professionals at Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy can help! Let us show you how to be successful in golf by doing the opposite of what you’ve been doing.

We can help you brush up on your golf skills and maybe learn some new ones. Whether it’s putting, working on your swing or even your chipping, we can help you control that ball.

orth Carolina and South Carolina PGA Teacher of the Year, Doug Weaver is the Director of Instruction at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy. He conducts Where Does the Power Come From a free interactive clinic and demonstration every Monday from 4-5 p.m. at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course.

Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge

Pinckney Island, located between Hilton Head Island and Bluffton, SC, attracts over a quarter of a million visitors each year. This easily accessible island offers a range of wildlife-dependent activities, including hiking, biking, and wildlife watching.

And for those interested in hunting, there is an annual one-day deer hunt held in the fall.

The Refuge offers a variety of opportunities to explore and enjoy the great outdoors from sunrise to sunset. You can hike, bicycle, observe wildlife, take pictures or go saltwater fishing.

Pinckney Island is a crucial stop along the Atlantic Flyway for thousands of migratory birds each year. This sanctuary is not only a haven for these feathered travelers, but also serves as a rookery for colonial wading birds like ibis, egrets, and herons. In addition to protecting birds and other wildlife from disturbance, a "no dogs" policy is in place. www.fws.gov/refuge/pinckney-island.
