Harbor Island

One of Dream Vacation Magazine's  "25 of the Most Beautiful South Carolina Islands"  

Nestled in the South Carolina Lowcountry exist a little gem called Harbor Island. Where life slows down a little and beckons you to take a breath and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds you.

Harbor Island is located 14 miles East of Beaufort, SC, and boasts a gated community with a private 2 and 1/2 mile natural beach where residents enjoy sunbathing, fishing, crabbing or simply strolling,  watching the dolphins at play and the various sea birds that claim this habitat. 

The small coastal community offers a Beach & Racquet Club with an Olympic size pool, children's pool, fitness center,  gym, tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts, and a playground to provide other activities to round out your day.

The usual mode of transportation is a golf cart and it is common to see neighbors on evening rides, taking time to stop and chat. The island provides a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where neighbors get to know neighbors.

There are restaurants close to the island and Beaufort is only 14 miles to a myriad of restaurants, quaint downtown shopping, and historical tours. For more adventure, historical Savannah and Charleston are an easy day trip away. For golfers, there are award-winning courses in Beaufort and Hilton Head.

If you haven't discovered this "hidden gem,"  It is worthy of a visit, and like so many that have, you may decide to claim your own piece of paradise at Harbor Island.
