Communities

Sea Pines
Plantation: The first community developed on Hilton Head Island,
by the brilliant visionary, Charles Fraser, Sea Pines is located at
the Southern tip of the Island, bordered on one side by beach, and
the other by Calibogue Sound. Consisting of approximately 4500 acres
of prime property, it is smattered with lush live oaks, magnolias
and hardwoods, graceful palms, and a plethora of tropical foliage.
Sea Pines has 5 miles of the best swimming beach |
on the Island, with
flat sugar sand, ideal for biking and sunning. Sea Pines boasts
three fine golf courses, including the world renowned Harbour Town
Golf Links, a favorite on the PGA Tour. The private Sea Pines
Country Club has its own golf course, for members only. The Harbour
Town Marina, with its famous candy striped lighthouse, is a
shopper’s mecca, and some of the gorgeous yachts of the rich and
famous are berthed there. The tennis facilites are also world class,
having been home for many years to the Family Circle Tournament, and
others. South Beach Marina, at the very tip of Sea Pines, is home to
the community’s many water sports activities, and dolphin watch
cruises are a popular attraction. The many beach, tennis or golf
villas are in demand to the quality tourists who visit every year,
many of whom eventually decide to live here.

Forest Beach:
Located at the South End of the Island, just outside Sea Pines Ocean
Gate, this original beach front community is going through
metamorphosis, as the old homes are being razed, and new ocean side
mansions take their place. Nearby Coligny Plaza, the first shopping
center with the first super market, are still there, but have been
refurbished. This comfortable, laid back area is a conglomerate of
villas and “beach houses”, and a favorite tourist area. It is not a
Plantation, nor it is a private community, but the beach is
magnificent!

Plantation: Also located at the South end of the Island,
Shipyard is another mainly tourist area, semi-private, with lovely
beach and the Crown Plaza Hotel. Villas abound, and three public
