With its rich past, vast history and unique ecology, Palmetto Bluff is truly one of the South’s finest treasures. Not far from Hilton Head Island and Savannah, it’s close enough to everything, yet away from it all. As a luxury travel destination and a renowned place to live, this planned residential community and conservation preserve beckons the past, welcomes the future and lives in the moment. Not a precious second is wasted. Pretty never goes out of style and Palmetto Bluff’s architecture, reminiscent of a simpler time blends seamlessly with the sturdy construction and refinements of today. No crowds, no chaos---just well-appointed, serene and artful.

MHilton Head Beach Renourishmentother Nature has bestowed some of her finest work along the pristine shores of Hilton Head Island. Our beautiful white sand beaches are treasured, nurtured and photographed by generations of islanders and visitors alike, but we must also protect our shores. Beach sand here moves from the center of the island toward its end, dictated by Port Royal Sound to the north and Calibogue Sound to the south. Hilton Head Island is a “transgressive” relic coastal barrier and this type beach erosion---the massive and continual movement of sand---is a naturally-occurring phenomenon.


As part of the Town of Hilton Head’s long-term strategy for restoring and maintaining our beaches, beach renourishment is necessary every seven to ten years, depending on weather…

Discover what you thought you knew about Hilton Head Island’s esteemed Long Cove Club. It’s not what you may think…it’s so much more!

Long Cove Club epitomizes the Hilton Head way of life—exceptional and within a beautiful environment. Overlooking sweeping salt marshes and lagoons, this 630-acre south-end gated community is a gracious and…
