Harbour Town Yacht Basin Earns Prestigious South Carolina
Clean Marina Program Certification
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (November 9, 2023) – Harbour Town Yacht Basin has been awarded South Carolina Clean Marina Program certification, recognizing its commitment to preserving the environment and enhancing the water quality for recreational boaters throughout the state of South Carolina. This voluntary certification program is a testament to Harbour Town Yacht Basin’s dedication to implementing best management practices that reduce pollution and protect the marine environment.
“Harbour Town Yacht Basin is honored to be acknowledged by the South Carolina Clean Marina Program for our commitment to preserving our beautiful coastal environment,” said Rob Bender, Director of Recreation and Marine Operations. “This certification demonstrates our ongoing dedication to environmentally responsible practices and creating a safe and enjoyable experience for boaters.”
The Clean Marina designation is awarded to marinas that exhibit outstanding characteristics, including design considerations, effective marina management, emergency planning, fuel control, proper sewage and waste disposal, stormwater control, habitat protection, and boater education. Beyond the environmental benefits, these practices also lead to reduced waste disposal costs, attract responsible boaters, and open potential new sources of revenue for certified marinas.
Harbour Town Yacht Basin is part of the national Clean Marina Program, which consists of 38 state programs, united under the common goal of promoting environmentally responsible working and maintenance procedures in marinas. This voluntary program encourages marina operators to collaborate with regulatory agencies and the boating community to ensure sustainable practices.

Harbour Town Lighthouse Adds New Historical Chapter with Installation of Fresnel Lens
‘Invention that saved a million ships’ now on display for visitors to The Sea Pines Resort
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (May 9, 2022) – The iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse at The Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island has added an exciting chapter to its storied history with the installation of a genuine Fresnel lens to further the power of the light that blossoms from the top. Just over five decades old, the red-and-white striped Lighthouse — featured prominently in CBS’ coverage last month of the PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage golf tournament — serves not only as a beacon to the many ships that reside in the Yacht Basin but also as a landmark that symbolizes the region and the resort.
Developed in the 1820s for use in lighthouses, Fresnel (pronounced “fray-NEL”) lenses are not only stunning pieces of artwork, but their functionality has led them to be called “the invention that saved a million ships.” For visitors to the Lighthouse, the 114-step trip to the observation deck now offers an additional payoff.
“The Fresnel lens is as beautiful in the day as when it’s illuminated at night,” said Rob Bender, director of recreation and marine operations for The Sea Pines Resort. “There is a great deal of history associated with this Lighthouse and this represented a great opportunity to add to it.”
Bender added the Fresnel lens’ installation is a crowning achievement for The Sea Pines Resort and keepers of the Lighthouse, property manager Mark King and keeper Nadia Wagner. “It’s a great partnership; it took a lot of patience but was well worth it,” Bender said.
Talk of bringing in a Fresnel lens was initiated nearly a decade ago but Hurricane Matthew and other factors played roles in the delay. Final approval was even needed from the United States Coast Guard, a process that took four months alone.
The new Lighthouse lens is a replica of the original Fourth Order Fresnel lens as created and designed by Dan Spinella, a Florida-based artist and engineer who began his research and restoration work on the lenses 30 years ago. To date, Spinella said 46 reproduction Fresnel lenses have been manufactured and installed in U.S. lighthouses as both aids to navigation and as exhibits in lighthouse museums, such as Harbour Town.
At the time of its design by French physicist Augustin Fresnel, the lens was hailed as a scientific wonder and revolutionized the way lighthouses illuminated the waterways of the world. With their intricate design of hundreds of prisms arranged in a beehive shape, Fresnel lenses are not only engineering marvels but also incredible works of art with a futuristic look despite dating back more than 200 years ago.
Harbour Town Lighthouse, which is open 10 a.m. to sundown for daily tours, features numerous historical exhibits as well as a gift shop. Admission is $5.75 per person; children 5 and under are free.

Coast Guard Sector Charleston command center watchstanders received multiple uncorrelated distress calls on the digital selective calling (DSC) system carried over a VHF marine radio in the Hilton Head and Beaufort area over the past few months.
Coast Guard requests mariners inspect VHF marine radios
CHARLESTON, S.C.— The Coast Guard has received multiple uncorrelated distress calls on the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) system carried over a VHF marine radio in the Hilton Head and Beaufort, South Carolina area over the past few months.
These DSC calls are originating from an unregistered radio displaying an MMSI address of 100000001.
The first signal was received by the Coast Guard on April 26, 2021, ceased in July of 2021, and resumed intermittent transmissions in February 2022, causing interference with marine radio traffic in the Hilton Head and Beaufort, South Carolina area.
False distress calls have the potential to mask genuine distress calls and overwhelm the search and rescue system’s ability to respond to emergencies. The Coast Guard urges all mariners to check their VHF radios and contact the Coast Guard if you have any information about the faulty radio at 843-740-7050.

Ranked the No. 1 family resort in the United States and Canada and one of the “Top 25 World’s Best Family Getaways” by Travel + Leisure magazine, Palmetto Dunes features activities and experiences for every member of the family. Visitors and guests can explore Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, enjoy one of the 2,000-acre resort’s three award-winning championship golf courses, bike along the beach, or kayak the 11-mile inland lagoon system.
GOLF
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort is one of the premier golfing destinations in the Southeast. Each of the three superb layouts are distinctively different, yet challenging. The Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes, designed by famed golf course architect Arthur Hills, was built on a series of rolling dunes and was named the state’s 2009 Course of the Year. The scenic Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course, home to one of the most stunning oceanfront holes in the Southeast, was honored as the South Carolina Course of the Year in 2003 and is a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” for its commitment to providing a sanctuary for wildlife. The George Fazio Course, Hilton Head Island’s only par-70 layout, presents a challenge to any accomplished golfer: a series of long par 4’s guarded by bunkers and water hazards. Veteran golfers regard the Fazio course as Hilton Head Island’s true championship course.
TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE
Guests may use their complimentary bike rental to explore miles of paved pathways beneath towering live oak trees and three miles of pristine beaches. Hilton Head Outfitters is available for bike rentals, canoes, kayaks, fishing and much more. Fishermen may select a fly rod or light tackle to go after large redfish, trout, bluefish, flounder and black drum. The calm waters of the 11-mile inland lagoon system that runs through Palmetto Dunes present countless opportunities for fishing, bird watching and enjoying the beauty of nature. Guided paddling trips led by trained interpretative naturalists provide an introduction to the habitat of herons, osprey, dolphins and fiddler crabs. Outfitters guides also provide kayak lessons for beginners, and more.

There is even an underpass for crossing busy Highway 278 to access Shelter Cove Harbour and Marina from the resort. Guests may rent bikes, accessories and more at Hilton Head Outfitters to explore the island and to cycle along the beach. Hilton Head Outfitters delivers bikes for free for guests staying at the resort – or anywhere on the island – making bike rentals easy and convenient.
THE PALMETTO DUNES BUGGY (seasonal)
Getting around Shelter Cove Harbour and Marina and Palmetto Dunes Resort is easy, thanks to the Palmetto Dunes Buggy. This free, on-demand service enables guests to skip the traffic and visit the beach, golf courses, Tennis & Pickleball Center, restaurants and shops at Shelter Cove Harbour from mid-April through September.
BEACH FUN
Palmetto Dunes features three miles of pristine beachfront, the ideal locale for surfing, boogie boarding, swimming, walking, lounging and collecting shells. The wide, sandy beaches that front the Atlantic Ocean were reinforced using tons of sand dredged from the resort’s 11-mile lagoon system and Shelter Cove Marina. The sand was positioned to form the resort’s characteristic dunes.
DINING
From Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, guests can bike — or take the free Dunes Buggy shuttle from April through September — to the Dunes House, a laid-back beach bar and restaurant where guests enjoy food, drinks and fun with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. Big Jim’s BBQ, Burgers and Pizza at the Robert Trent Jones clubhouse is popular for a cold drink and relaxing meal. For more upscale dining, Alexander’s Restaurant & Wine Bar is located in Palmetto Dunes, at 76 Queens Folly Road. Alexander’s is an upscale seafood restaurant and wine bar, featuring seasonally inspired cuisine, locally caught seafood and many locally-sourced ingredients. The menu pays tribute to many classic Lowcountry and Alexander’s favorites such as Baked Flounder Imperial, Shrimp and Grits, and Wiener Schnitzel.
ENTERTAINMENT
For over thirty years, Shelter Cove Harbour has hosted HarbourFest, one of Hilton Head Island’s most popular entertainment events, from Memorial Day through Labor Day. HarbourFest features fireworks on select Tuesday nights as well as street vendors, musicians, arts and crafts and more. Popular troubadour Shannon Tanner presents seasonal entertainment at Shelter Cove with his beanie hat and trademark blend of original music, popular ballads and kid favorites. Plus, many restaurants at Shelter Cove Harbour offer live music seven nights a week all summer long. HarbourFest is free and open to the public.
KIDS’ ACTIVITIES
