Forest Beach is one of Hilton Head Island’s original beach communities. It includes the southern and northern areas and is sometimes called the “unofficial downtown district” of Hilton Head Island.
Forest Beach’s Oceanside natural setting is breathtaking. It stretches along three miles of white sand beaches between the Shipyard and Sea Pines. This is an open and welcoming community; not isolated and remote.
North Forest Beach is considered the most “residential” section, while the south side is home to more villas and inns. If you’re looking for a home or rental property in the heart of all that Hilton Head Island has to offer, this should be your first stop. Forest Beach has the perfect balance of natural beauty, tropical scenery, ocean views, and activities to please even the most discerning vacationer. You can select a beach house for those large family vacations or a private villa for a quiet getaway. Many of the larger properties have private pools and other top-notch amenities.
Among them you will find shops and restaurants in Coligny Plaza. There are more than fifty specialty shops and restaurants here. Summer nights at Coligny Plaza feature live entertainment. You’ll also find the Coligny Theater here, which features free family movies on Saturday mornings and independent and arthouse movies for discerning moviegoers.
South Forest Beach is very often the place that many tourists return to year after year. With close proximity to Coligny Plaza and a nice wide, shallow beach, it’s the perfect setting for everyone from large groups to singles and couples. There is a wide range of rental villas available in a variety of sizes, views and prices. Here’s the general rule of thumb in most beach communities…the larger the unit and the closer to the water, the higher the cost.
The North and South Forest Beach areas offer an incredible variety of activities for all age groups. It’s not possible to list everything, but here’s a sample of what you can find in Forest Beach…
