North Forest Beach and South Forest Beach comprise the area running parallel to the Atlantic Ocean between Shipyard Plantation and Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island’s chic and popular south end. The primary roadways are North Forest Beach Drive and South Forest Beach Drive, with each sprouting streets running both adjacent to the shoreline and mirroring the same on the non-beach side. Lush landscapes, panoramic ocean views, boutiques and dining possibilities are just part of the lure of Forest Beach.
Forest Beach is considered by many to be the best stretch of beach on Hilton Head with miles of pristine white sand beaches, gentle lapping waves, and endless sunrises and sunsets. Forest Beach is Hilton Head’s original beach community. Its eclectic character and charm are undeniable and many of Hilton Head’s largest and most luxurious homes flank the beach, some owner-occupied while others are vacation rentals.
