About Sea Pines Forest Preserve
Sea Pines Forest Preserve protects 605 acres of pristine maritime forest, wetlands, and lakes in the heart of Hilton Head Island's legendary Sea Pines Resort—the planned community that pioneered environmentally conscious development when Charles Fraser created it in 1956. The preserve serves as the ecological and spiritual heart of Sea Pines, offering residents and visitors an accessible wilderness experience just minutes from world-class golf courses, tennis facilities, and beaches. The network of elevated boardwalks and nature trails winds through diverse Lowcountry ecosystems including freshwater ponds, cypress swamps, marshlands, and maritime forest dominated by towering loblolly pines, majestic live oaks draped with Spanish moss, and native palmetto palms that define the South Carolina coast. The preserve provides critical habitat for alligators, white-tailed deer, wood storks, egrets, herons, and countless other species that thrive in this protected sanctuary surrounded by development. The wooden boardwalks allow visitors to experience the wetlands intimately without disturbing the fragile ecosystems, with interpretive signs educating about Lowcountry ecology and the importance of conservation. The preserve's centerpiece, Lake Joe, offers fishing and peaceful water views, while the Indian Shell Ring—a 4,000-year-old Native American archaeological site—reminds visitors of the deep human history in these coastal forests. Sea Pines Resort itself revolutionized resort development by preserving natural areas within the community, setting standards for environmental stewardship that influenced coastal development worldwide. The Harbour Town Lighthouse, located within Sea Pines, stands as one of the most photographed landmarks in America, while the Heritage Golf Tournament (now the RBC Heritage) brings professional golf to the island annually. Hilton Head Island, located in South Carolina's Lowcountry between Savannah, Georgia (45 minutes) and Charleston, South Carolina (2 hours), attracts over 2.5 million visitors annually who come for 12 miles of pristine beaches, championship golf courses, world-class tennis facilities, and the unique combination of resort amenities with preserved natural beauty. The island's resort towns—Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes, Shipyard, Wexford—balance development with conservation, but Sea Pines Forest Preserve remains the island's most significant protected natural area. Whether you own property in Sea Pines and walk the preserve trails regularly, vacation annually on Hilton Head and seek the boardwalk's peaceful escape from beach crowds, discovered the preserve while biking Sea Pines' extensive bike path network, proposed on a secluded bench overlooking the lake, or simply appreciate the Lowcountry landscape that makes coastal South Carolina special, this poster honors the preserve that proves paradise and conservation can coexist—a vision Charles Fraser pioneered that continues inspiring sustainable coastal development today.
