Plantation Center on Hilton Head Island
Plantation Center is the small shopping center at the Palmetto Dunes gate on William Hilton Parkway, with a German restaurant, a Southwestern dinner house, an e-bike shop and a salon.
Plantation Center is at 807 William Hilton Parkway, in the middle of the island at the entrance to Palmetto Dunes and directly across US 278 from Shelter Cove.

Planning a Visit
The center is a short drive from rentals in Palmetto Dunes, Shelter Cove, Hilton Head Plantation and Port Royal. Alfred’s is at the back of the complex, behind Sea Grass Grille: park in the side lot and cross the footbridge. Each business keeps its own hours, so check the tenant’s page before you go; Santa Fe Cafe, for one, serves dinner Tuesday to Saturday and is closed Sunday and Monday. For a bigger shopping stop, Shelter Cove Towne Centre is across the highway.
