Hilton Head Plantation

Hilton Head Plantation became one of the island’s largest residential communities when founded in 1971. Touching Skull Creek, which leads to the Intracoastal Waterway, on one side and Port Royal Sound on another, Hilton Head Plantation has expanded in area from 500 acres to its’ current 5,000 acres. The private, gated residential area has numerous amenities offered for recreation and dining, including two miles of walking beaches and two nature conservatories.

The full-service Skull Creek Marina on the Intracoastal Waterway provides access to the Port Royal Sound and has a boat yard, fuel and pump-out station. The 158 boat slips are available for rent or purchase, but can only hold up to 200-ft boats.

Four 18-hole golf courses are on site, some open to the public. You will also find miles of biking and jogging trails, a central recreational facility, waterfront playground, one four star restaurant, a community swimming pool, and a common gardening area. The private-access Spring Lake Racquet Club holds 12 Har-Tru Clay courts for member’s use, two which are lighted for night play.
