Sea Pines Shops, Hilton Head Island
The Shops at Sea Pines Center
- Address: 71 Lighthouse Road, inside the Sea Pines gate
- Trolley: Every route stops outside C’est Bon (seasonal)
- Market: Tuesdays, March to November
The Shops at Sea Pines Center, Hilton Head Island, SC, sit at 71 Lighthouse Road, in the middle of the resort rather than at either end. Sea Pines Center is where people staying in Sea Pines go for the everyday things: a coffee, groceries and a bottle of wine, a haircut, the gym, the post office. It is a small, open-air shopping center, not a mall.
Sea Pines shopping on Hilton Head is split between three places: Harbour Town for the marina boutiques, South Beach for the Salty Dog shops, and here for clothing, jewelry, galleries and the practical errands. This page covers the shops at Sea Pines, Hilton Head, SC, that sit in the center, with the rest of the Sea Pines guide a click away.
