North Forest Beach Neighborhood

Quiet, peaceful, but still in the heart of it all...

With the best shoreline on Hilton Head Island, North Forest Beach neighborhood offers beautiful oceanfront and ocean-oriented homes along a quiet stretch of streets north of the heart of the community. The area consists of a one-mile stretch of beachfront land that begins at Coligney Plaza and runs north to the Crowne Plaza Resort in Shipyard Plantation. This neighborhood is perfect for the family or traveling group that wants privacy, but also wants to be just around the corner from shops, restaurants, and things to do.

North Forest Beach is where many of Hilton Head's earliest vacation rentals were located, but now nearly every home has been either renovated or torn-down and rebuilt. The streets have been renamed for birds like Dove, Lark, or Avocet. The neighborhood is scattered with full-time residents and vacationers alike.

You and your guests can feel safe in the neighborhood and not worry about letting your kids run off and enjoy themselves. The neighborhood has one of the lowest crime-rates on the island and is home to a Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.

Coligney Plaza, which many consider "downtown" Hilton Head, is just a ten minute walk from our home and offers the activities that you and your guests want to enjoy. With nearly 60 wonderful shops, restaurants, nightlife, and activities it is the perfect spot to spend your time off the beach enjoying what Hilton Head Island has to offer.

We recommend trying Camp Hilton Head for wonderful island t-shirts to take home with you. Steamer's Seafood and Raw Bar for dinner, and Rita's Italian Ice for an afternoon treat to cool you down after a hot day at the beach. The plaza also features a grocery store, small theater, and Internet Café.

Other activities in close proximity include miniature golf, a water park, bicycle rentals and everyday convenience stores. If you have golf lovers in your group, there are plenty of golf courses within a 10 minute drive.
