Hilton Head Plantation


Four thousand acres of mature live oaks, four championship golf courses, and a deep-water marina — the island's largest established residential community.

Established Coastal Living on the North End

Hilton Head Plantation occupies roughly four thousand acres on the northern end of Hilton Head Island, bounded by Skull Creek, Port Royal Sound, and the maritime forest interior. Developed beginning in the 1970s, it is one of the island's earliest and largest gated residential communities — and remains one of its most sought-after addresses for full-time residents.

The community is defined by its tree canopy, its waterways, and its scale. Wide curving roads pass beneath mature live oaks; lagoons and tidal creeks run through nearly every neighborhood; and the Spring Lake amenity complex sits at the geographic heart of it all.

Behind a 24-hour manned gate, residents have access to four full golf courses, a working deep-water marina at Skull Creek, two community parks, miles of leisure paths, and an active calendar of social and recreational programming.

"One of the largest gated residential communities on the Eastern Seaboard — and still, in many ways, the standard for island living north of Sea Pines."

Spring Lake Recreation Area

The community's central amenity complex, with a Junior Olympic pool, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness facility, playground, and clubhouse — all surrounding a freshwater lake.

Skull Creek Marina

A 174-slip deep-water marina on the Intracoastal Waterway, with direct access to Port Royal Sound and the Atlantic. Long-term and transient slips, plus on-site dining.

Dolphin Head Park

A wooded park on Port Royal Sound offering one of the few non-Atlantic beach experiences on Hilton Head — calm water, panoramic sunset views, and boardwalk access through the dunes.

Pine Island Beach Park

A private oceanfront park reserved for property owners, with pavilions, restrooms, and direct beach access on Port Royal Sound.

Whooping Crane Conservancy

A 137-acre nature preserve and rookery managed by the POA, with elevated boardwalks through cypress wetlands and pine forest.

Leisure Paths

More than twelve miles of paved paths connect every neighborhood to the parks, the marina, the four clubhouses, and the perimeter of the community.

Four Distinct Courses Within a Single Community
