Harbour Town, as it is today

“More than fifty years have passed since I first set foot on Hilton Head Island, and still, the tides of gratitude wash over me each time I cross the bridge. This island captured my heart then, and it still does now. My daughter, Margaret, and her family live in Sea Pines, walking the same paths she did as a child. Watching her children grow up here feels like closing a perfect circle.”

I’ve come to realize that many newcomers to the island don’t know its remarkable history—the story of how this place came to be, who dreamed it into existence, and why it feels so alive.
