Sea Pines
was the original planned development on the Island, and became the
model for those that followed. The "Grandfather" of Island
Plantations was founded in 1956 by Charles Fraser. For a number of
years Sea Pines and Hilton Head were synonymous. In fact, the
candy striped lighthouse in Harbour Town has come to
symbolize the Island and its sensitive mix of residential and
visitor oriented developments and recreational facilities blended
harmoniously into their natural surroundings. With more than 5,000
acres Sea Pines is the largest of the Island's plantations. Almost
1300 of these acres are devoted to parks, forest preserves, lagoons
and marshlands. |

Fully half of
Shipyard plantation is devoted to multifamily developments, and
therefore, most of the people you run into are probably visitors in
the pursuit of a good time. Of the three 9 hole golf courses,
Clipper and Galleon have hosted the Senior PGA Tour three times. The
Shipyard Racquet Club has been called "possibly the most
beautiful tennis complex anywhere in the United States" and has been
rated in the top 50 tennis resorts in the country by Tennis
Magazine. |

activities and services. |

court Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, and Shelter Cove
Harbour - the largest deep water Harbour on the Island - surrounded
by fine restaurants, shops, and villas, it is no wonder Palmetto
Dunes is so popular. One of the unique features of this plantation
is the twelve mile lagoon system, fed by the waters of Broad Creek,
which meanders by the homes and villas and is great for canoeing and
fishing. |
