Shelter Cove Harbour is the largest deepwater marina on Hilton Head Island. It encloses the end of Broad Creek at the island’s center, across Highway 278 from
Palmetto
Dunes Plantation. Shelter Cove is a major tourist attraction because it hosts impressive local and world-traveled boats and yachts, has many fine restaurants and shops, and is the site of some of the island’s signature annual festivals. Such events include HarbourFest, an annual summer-long celebration known for its fabulous fireworks displays every Tuesday night from May to August, and WineFest, the largest outdoor, tented wine-tasting event on the East Coast. Shelter Cove Harbour has 665 high-rise villas for rent and sale overlooking the marina.
