The residential areas of Palmetto Dunes are protected by 24-hour security gates. The most exclusive of these is Leamington, a private, 400-acre oceanfront community comprised of primary and true second home residences removed from the hustle and bustle of vacation rentals.

And it is here in Leamington, on one of Hilton Head Island's last pieces of oceanfront, where a prestigious new address is taking shape - The Townhomes at South Shore.

The Townhomes at South Shore have been designed for those discriminating few who could live anywhere. These homes are unlike anything that has ever been offered on Hilton Head Island, and are reminiscent of grand oceanfront homes found in Fisher Island or Palm Beach, Florida. The Townhomes at South Shore not only set a new standard of living in Palmetto Dunes, but it is widely regarded as the finest oceanfront development ever on Hilton Head Island.

Each of these exquisite homes has a private oceanside courtyard with a heated pool, cabana and spa. If the ocean beckons, you have only to walk out over the dunes at your doorstep. But with views like these, you may choose to just relax on the veranda, enjoying the ocean breeze.

Farther afield, the scope and quality of Palmetto Dunes' amenities are world-renowned. The resort boasts three miles of broad Atlantic beach, a winding 11-mile lagoon system, Shelter Cove Marina - the island's largest deepwater marina, an award-winning 25-court tennis center, and three outstanding championship golf courses. There are two oceanfront resort hotels, and hundreds of homes and villas available for vacation or long-term rental.

So while golf and tennis may be our signature amenities at Palmetto Dunes, you'll never run out of things to do throughout our beautiful 2,000 acres. Hilton Head Island's warm, semi-tropical climate is ideal for year-round outdoor activities. Stroll along miles of uncrowded beach. Canoe or kayak through beautiful meandering lagoons teeming with wildlife. Go biking over miles of paved bike paths or enjoy a little beach cycling along the shore.

Welcome to The Townhomes at South Shore.
