There’s a certain magic to the Lowcountry coastline—salt on the breeze, pluff mud in the air, and a soundtrack that drifts from beachside bars and summer festivals. That soundtrack, unmistakably smooth and nostalgic, is beach music. Not to be confused with surf rock or tropical party anthems, beach music is a uniquely Southern form of rhythm and blues that found its cultural home along the Carolina coast.

Located on the Port Royal Sound and the Intercoastal Waterway, extraordinary water views encompass Hilton Head Plantation. Home styles range from traditional to modern, with a full range of price points for single family homes and villas.
With an eclectic flair, the neighborhoods of North Forest Beach and South Forest Beach are an engaging blend of old and new. Grand beach front homes and cozy cottages combine to create an appealing mix of style giving Forest Beach a charming, quirky island feel. The name Forest Beach says it all. In this neighborhood, it’s all about the sun, the sand and the sea.
In 1975 4,053 acres of tidal creek, salt marsh, freshwater ponds, open fields and maritime forest located between the South Carolina mainland and Hilton Head Island were donated to the government and Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge was established to provide a nature and forest preserve for aesthetic and conservation purposes. The refuge is comprised of several islands and small hammocks, with Pinckney Island being the largest.
