SHELTER COVE PIER
Plans to bring an overlook pier to Shelter Cove Community Park are still in the permitting stage but, if granted by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control, the project may move forward by the end of this year or in early-2017. The width and length of the pier are dictated by state regulations; the cost is estimated at $800,000, with $400,000 already budgeted. If approved, the Town of Hilton Head must come up with the additional $400,000.

It has been said that Hilton Head Island is a world apart from the real world, and that is a true statement both literally and figuratively. By definition, an island is land surrounded by water; it is separate and apart from the main land. Figuratively speaking, Hilton Head is set apart by and because of its unique real estate and casually refined lifestyle. Such an oasis would most certainly define Long Cove Club.
The calendar still says winter but Spring is in the air on Hilton Head Island. Trees are budding, the azaleas are already in bloom and lawns are popping with green. Islanders and visitors alike are in good spirits—and with good reason. March is the time for Cheer!
