SEA PINES PLANTATION
As was pointed out earlier, Sea Pines was the original
planned development on the Island, and became the model for those which
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.  For many 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.

Sea Pines is home to the Verizon Heritage Classic, a popular tournament on the PGA Tour.
Tour.

With over 5,000 acres it is the largest of the Island's plantations.  Almost
1300 of these acres are devoted to parks, forest preserves, lagoons and
marshlands!

SHIPYARD PLANTATION
Fully half of this plantation is devoted to multi-family developments, and
therefore, most of the people you run into are probably visitors in the
pursuit of a good time.  This is one of the more "active" plantations for
that reason.  There are three 9 hole golf courses; Clipper, Galleon and
Brigantine.  Clipper and Galleon have hosted the 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.  There is a "quieter" side
of single family homes in Shipyard, but for the most part is fast-paced and
fun!

PALMETTO DUNES PLANTATION
Palmetto Dunes is a 2000 acre resort/residential community and is one of the
most visited on the Island.  When you consider the three miles of beach, the
three championship coursed designed by Fazio, Trent Jones, and Arthur Hill,
the twenty-five 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 why 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.

The Leamington area of Palmetto Dunes, behind its own security gate, is the
most exclusive section of the resort.  The 427 home sites have the
challenging Arthur Hills Course and Clubhouse as their centerpiece!  In
addition, located across from the Arthur Hills Clubhouse, there is a
Recreational Center with pool, pavillion, and boat dock on the lagoon system.
The Beach Pavillion has a large sun deck, restrooms, storage, showers, and
provides Leamington residents direct access to the Atlantic Ocean.
