General Information for Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the Low Country Area

Windmill Harbour The first private community coming over the bridge and onto Hilton Head Island, Windmill Harbour Plantation is known for its harbour's technologically advanced lock system. In 1987 Charles Fraser, developer of Windmill Harbour, built the canal & lock system to create a beautiful harbour with fresh water docking. The lifestyle in the Plantation centers around the Marina & Harbour. Because of its location, Windmill Harbour affords some unique amenities: Intracoastal Waterway and Broad Creek offer breathtaking views and sunsets for many home owners. Lock system protects the 260-slip basin from wakes, currents and silting, while affording direct boating access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Calibogue Sound. South Carolina Yacht Club: Built in 1990, the magnificent Charleston -style clubhouse offers elegant dining, conference facilities & a Marina.
