Windmill Harbour

Windmill Harbour is a private, gated marina community located on the northern end of Hilton Head Island, known for its deepwater access, boating lifestyle, and quiet residential setting. Built around a secure inland harbor connected to the Intracoastal Waterway, it is one of the only privately owned lock-controlled marinas on the East Coast, offering direct access to open water without bridges or tides affecting boat entry and exit.

The community features a mix of townhomes, villas, and custom homes, many overlooking the marina, docks, or surrounding marsh. Architecture reflects a coastal village style, with low-maintenance living and a strong emphasis on water-oriented design.

At the center of Windmill Harbour is the private marina, which includes over 250 slips, a yacht club, and the South Carolina Yacht Club. Residents enjoy sailing, boating, fishing, and waterfront dining, along with a full calendar of social events and regattas that make the marina a true focal point of the community.

The neighborhood is intentionally quiet and residential, with limited through traffic and a strong sense of privacy. Walking paths, scenic water views, and access to protected harbor waters create a relaxed coastal atmosphere centered around boating and outdoor living.

Conveniently located just off the bridge to Hilton Head Island and minutes from Bluffton, Windmill Harbour offers easy access to shopping, dining, and mainland travel while maintaining a tucked-away, private feel. With its unique lock-controlled marina and strong boating culture, it remains one of the most distinctive waterfront communities in the Lowcountry.
