Located in the heart of Sea Pines Resort, Harbour Town Shops is a beautiful, relaxing harborside shopping center with lots of little boutiques, gift shops, galleries, and restaurants.

Every year, when my children were little, we came to the Harbour Town Playground for some of our fondest memories. We got many of our favorite summer photos here! The playground is heavily shaded and has climbing trees and a treehouse for the kids to enjoy. Harbour Town is in the Sea Pines Resort, which does charge a $9 per vehicle fee, but it is well worth it to explore not only the playground, but also the whole Harbour Town area.

Main Street Village is a great place to shop, eat, and explore primarily locally owned businesses. This tree-shaded outdoor shopping center has a unique mix of boutique shops, consignment shops, spa services, restaurants and cafes, and a grocery store. It is also a fun place to just take a little stroll.

Often considered Hilton Head's downtown area, Shelter Cove Towne Centre has a great mix of shops, restaurants, spa services, and even a beautiful park, all in a beautifully landscaped setting right by the water.
