About Shipyard
When Charles Fraser developed the first plantation on Hilton Head Island in 1957, he instituted a master land use plan that blended with and accentuated the natural beauty of the Island.  The second plantation to be developed for residential purposes was Shipyard Plantation.  Much like its Sea Pines predecessor, Shipyard was developed with special consideration given to complementing rather than competing with nature.

There are approximately 2,100 density units in Shipyard Plantation with an unusual combination of resort, residential and commercial interests.  Nestled among the trees are twenty-seven holes of golf, twenty tennis courts, a 338 room beachfront hotel, a world-class heath institute, 255 residential lots, approximately 400 interval ownership units and 1,000 condominium units.

Dual access to Shipyard Plantation on Highway #278 and Pope Avenue make Shipyard one of the most convenient locations on the island.  Coligny Plaza is less than one mile and there is easy access to restaurants, stores, banks, movie theaters, a local hardware store, and the post office.  Shipyard residents love their convenient location and the simplicity of the plantation. A major attraction for Shipyard residents is the community Beach Club on the oceanfront.  The Beach Club is used over a 1/3 of the year for property owner events with a thriving Mens and Womens group, educational events and multiple social gatherings. There is a convenient walkway to the beach, restrooms, showers, and over 400 beach storage lockers that are rented by property owners below the Beach Club.  This feature promotes more pedestrian and bicycle traffic to the beach as your beach supplies remain in your locker. Shipyarders believe that they have it all with convenience, a beautiful beach, old fashioned neighbors, and a tropical paradise to call home.
Shipyard is a diversified community with 2,106 density units.

There are two residential neighborhoods that wrap around 27 holes of golf.  Residential North is located down Kingston Road and Residential South is located down Gloucester and Salem Road.  Shipyard has 1080 condominiums, the majority of which have golf course views.  In addition to the condominiums, there are 400 interval ownership units that also flank the golf courses. The commercial partners in Shipyard Plantation are the Crowned Plaza Resort, Van Der Meer Tennis, Hilton Head Health, and Heritage Golf.  All these entities have available links on the website, Shipyardhhi.com, and add a world class resort feel to the plantation. The theme of Shipyard is that it is a place to come for a visit or forever.
