Forest Beach Vacation Rentals

View all Forest Beach Hilton Head rentals

Highly sought after, the Forest Beach area offers perhaps the best of everything, including the glorious natural beauty of the beach as well as convenient shopping, beautiful homes in quiet residential areas, and various villas on and off the ocean. Forest Beach starts where the Sea Pines Plantation ends in the south and extends all the way up to the north, ending at the beginning of the Shipyard Plantation.

One of the most exciting features aside from the white, sandy beaches, is the Coligny Plaza with its many shops and restaurants. This plaza, and the Coligny Circle, divides North and South Forest Beach. Coligny Plaza is the closest thing Hilton Head Island has to a downtown. The plaza (which was Hilton Head's first shopping center) has over 50 retail and dining adventures. Once you've settled into your home or villa, a short walk or a quick drive to Coligny is as far as you need to go. Here you will find, among other establishments, the Piggly Wiggly supermarket, Java Joe's Coffee House, Skillets, Steamers, Coligny Bakery, Frosty Frog Café and Bar, The Earl of a Sandwich, The Art Café, The Coligny Kite shop, Sunglass Warehouse, and much more.

At the center of this area is the Coligny Beach Park. Here you can rent beach umbrellas and chairs, play beach volleyball or people watch. Away from the beach park area, the pace is slower for those seeking rest, relaxation and 40 winks. Not far from Coligny Circle, along South Forest Beach, is the Van Der Meer Tennis Center. Just down the street from the Coligny Circle is Pope Avenue, where even more shops and restaurants can be found, including the widely popular restaurants Wild Wings and Aunt Chiladas.

If you're searching for luxury ocean front homes, or luxury ocean view villas similiar to the Seacrest Resort, you'll find them here. If your goal is to find a great home or villa near the ocean, in a fun area, Forest Beach offers many options. From the above overview, it's easy to conclude there's a lot to see and do.
