Shopping at Harbour Town, Sea Pines

  • Shops: More than 20, mostly locally owned
  • Hours: Most open at 10 a.m. daily; closing varies by shop and season
  • Where: Around the yacht basin, Lighthouse Road, Sea Pines
  • Sea Pines gate fee: $10/day per vehicle

The Harbour Town shops ring the yacht basin at the southern end of Sea Pines, a few steps from the lighthouse and the docks. There are more than 20 of them, most locally owned, and they lean toward what people want on vacation: resort clothes, gifts, kids’ things, souvenirs and a general store for the basics. It is an open-air walk around the harbour, not a mall.

You will see it written as Harbor Town stores, the Harbor Town shopping centre or the shops at Harbourtown too; it is the same set of harborside shops. The lighthouse, the marina and the restaurants are all part of the same stroll, and the rest of the village is in our Harbour Town guide.
