SEA
PINES
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
most
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
both
the
Heritage,
a
popular
tournament
on
the
PGA
tour,
and
the
Family
Circle
Tennis
Tournament.
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
Fully
half
of
this
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.
This
is
one
of
the
more
"active"
plantations
for
that
reason.
Of
the
three
9
hole
golf
courses,
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
is
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
it
is
fast-paced
and
fun.

of
the
unique

the

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

have
the
challenging
Arthur
Hills
Course
and
Clubhouse
as
their

SPANISH
WELLS
When
the
Spaniards
explored
this
part
of
the
coast
they
landed
on
this
area
of
the
Island
to
get
fresh
water
-
hence
the
name
Spanish
Wells.
Because
of
its
remote
location
"off
the
beaten
path"
of
Highway
278
Spanish
Wells
has
evolved
into
the
most
serene
and
quiet
of
