Harbor Island is a private gated barrier island community just slightly over an hours drive to Charleston, Savannah and Hilton Head and about 20 minutes to Beaufort SC. You’ll love the over 2.5 miles of private, uncrowded, white sandy beaches filled with birds, marine life, sea turtles nesting in the summer, and vibrantly sparkling star gazing lit up evenings.
Watch for nesting endangered loggerheads turtles that nest annually May-September on the beach directly in front of the home EVERY year. Walk with the turtle patrol at sunrise as you learn to look for the telltale signs that a momma has given birth to over 100 eggs in a nights labor.
