Shipyard

Shipyard was the second planned community by the Hilton Head Company, but was oriented towards a residential as well as resort community. Situated on the ocean side of Highway #278, south of Palmetto Dunes, is Shipyard Plantation, one of the Hilton Head Island’s original developments. Successfully blending a residential community with a renowned resort destination, Shipyard offers a full spectrum of amenities whether your stay is permanent, seasonal or for the few weeks of an Island vacation. Amenities at Shipyard include over four miles of trails for biking, jogging and roller-balding. Access to a long stretch of beach, said by many to be the areas finest, is through Shipyard Beach Club. Pools are available in all visitor areas and there are lagoons for fishing. Shipyard also benefits from the amenities of its resident resort, the Crowne Plaza. Shipyard has three 9-hole golf courses, famous for their three-time hosting of the Senior PGA Tour. But at Shipyard, it is tennis that rules supreme. Tennis Magazine has dubbed Shipyard Racquet Club, built for Billy Jean King, one of their "50 Greatest Tennis Resorts in America."
