Shipyard is a gated, mid-island community on Hilton Head known for its resort-style setting, established neighborhoods, and strong mix of full-time and second-home residents. Centered around lush maritime forests, lagoons, and golf fairways, Shipyard offers a balanced Lowcountry lifestyle with both recreation and residential convenience.
The community features a variety of housing options, including single-family homes, villas, and condos, many located along the fairways of the Shipyard Golf Club or tucked within shaded, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s layout emphasizes natural preservation, with winding roads, extensive landscaping, and peaceful surroundings.
Shipyard is anchored by the Shipyard Golf Club, a 27-hole course known for its scenic play through live oaks and lagoons. Residents also enjoy a private beach access area, tennis facilities, biking and walking trails, and access to the Sonesta Resort amenities within the community. The extensive leisure trail system connects neighborhoods to the beach, golf, and resort core, making it highly walkable and bike-friendly.
The beach access at Shipyard is one of its key highlights, offering a more relaxed shoreline experience compared to some of the busier public beach areas on the island. Combined with its tennis and golf facilities, the community has long been a favorite for both primary residents and vacation homeowners.
Located near the center of Hilton Head Island, Shipyard provides quick access to shopping, dining, and entertainment while maintaining a quiet, resort-oriented atmosphere. With its blend of golf, beach access, and established residential feel, Shipyard remains one of Hilton Head’s most well-rounded and consistently desirable communities.
