Hilton Head Leisure Trails
Speaking of spending time outdoors, we have to mention the Hilton Head leisure trails in their own section. You must spend some time exploring them during your stay at Sea Pines!
There are several points of interest along the trails, including the aforementioned Forest Preserve, Harbour Town, South Beach Marina Village, Plantation Golf Club, Stoney-Baynard Ruins, and more. Visitors can jog, bike, or walk on the trails; be sure to stay aware of your surroundings and yield to pedestrians if you’re cycling.
Legacy Oak Trees
While you’re out biking, jogging, or walking on Hilton Head’s leisure trails, you’ll see many gorgeous live oak trees. There are thousands in Sea Pines alone!
But what makes an oak tree a “live” oak tree? Live oak trees are the only oak trees to keep their leaves all year long. They’re 40-60 feet tall, and their long branches well surpass their height! You will see these special live oak trees all along the leisure trails at Sea Pines.
Fifteen of our live oak trees have been chosen as Legacy Oak Trees to bring a better understanding and appreciation of them to visitors. They represent the best specimens in the area, and range in age from 150-350 years old!
