Sea Pines Resort (formerly Sea Pines Plantation) is not only the original well-planned gated community on Hilton Head, but it is the first of its kind anywhere. In 1950, Charles Fraser invented gated communities as they are known today.
Located on Hilton Head's far south end, Sea Pines is the largest of the island's ten major gated communities. It is a vast 5,000 acre retreat with several miles of direct ocean front. This is no well-kept secret; thousands of vacationers make Sea Pines their home-away-from-home each summer. Each spring the annual Verizon Heritage PGA tournament is played here the week following Augusta National's Masters Tournament. There are 54 holes of world class golf in Sea Pines.
Harbour Town with the landmark lighthouse and upscale shopping welcomes guest from all over the world. They come by land and sea. The full-service marina has ample room to dock hundreds of pleasure boats including Greg Norman's 228 foot Aussie Rules yacht. Several dozen tennis courts and community pools await the rich and famous while miles and miles of bike paths provide ample room to roam.
This is one of the few gated communities on Hilton Head offering several options of fine restaurants and first class hotel accommodations.
South Beach Marina and the Salty Dog Cafe are Yankee favorites. The Salty Dog Cafe tee shirts are spotted up and down the east coast (mainly up). Nature lovers flock to Sea Pines for the Native American shell ring ruins and the 500 acre nature preserve. Sea Pines is the only community with both beach access and boat ramps for river access.
Home styles have very little variation in style. Architectural styles are primarily Hilton Head style with wood and stucco siding. Home prices have a wide range from $8.5M to $300,000.
