The "Grandfather" of Island Plantations was founded in 1956 by Charles Fraser. For a number of years Sea Pines and Hilton Head were synonymous. In fact, the candy striped lighthouse in Harbour Town has come to symbolize the Island and its sensitive mix of residential and visitor oriented developments and recreational facilities blended harmoniously into their natural surroundings. With more than 5,000 acres Sea Pines is the largest of the Island's plantations. Almost 1300 of these acres are devoted to parks, forest preserves, lagoons and marshlands.
