After leaving Savannah we headed north for Charleston via Hilton Head Island - the playground of the rich and famous! Golf, boating, sailing and beaches!!! Very impressive! Lots of immaculate Plantation Estates - developments turning the old plantations into golfing/housing communities.
The Sea Pines Plantation Community, on Hilton Head Island, was the brainchild of Charles E Fraser .
This is one of the modern "lifestyle" communities that have blossomed on the old plantations. There are a lot of these plantation communities on Hilton Head Island and surrounding areas - they are planned, landscaped, kept perfectly manicured and are totally devoted to lifestyle!
