Forest Beach is Hilton Head Island’s largest non-gated community. It remind me a bit of a northern beach town with surfers strolling down the street with board on their heads. Located between Sea Pines and Shipyard Plantations on the south end of the island, Forest Beach boasts beautiful, unspoiled beaches and a relaxed lifestyle. Coligny Plaza, sometimes referred to as “Downtown Hilton Head” is a popular gathering spot with 150 shops, restaurants and night clubs.
