Shelter Cove is Hilton Head Island’s premier waterfront destination on Broad Creek—built around a deep-water marina and a lively promenade filled with dining, shopping, and year-round entertainment. Sitting just off the Intracoastal Waterway across from Palmetto Dunes, it’s a go-to spot for sunset views, weekend strolls, and “let’s grab dinner by the water” plans.
At the heart of Shelter Cove is Shelter Cove Harbour & Marina, widely recognized as the island’s largest marina, with slip rentals and services for boaters plus an easy launch point for time on the water.
Even if you don’t own a boat, this is where you’ll find many of Hilton Head’s most popular on-water experiences—boat tours, dolphin cruises, fishing charters, watersports, and rentals.
Shelter Cove’s promenade is lined with a mix of waterfront restaurants—from casual bites and ice cream to elevated dining—plus a collection of boutiques and specialty shops that make it easy to pair dinner with a stroll.
Shelter Cove is also known for its signature events calendar. A few standouts:
HarbourFest (summer): an all-season celebration that runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day, featuring family-friendly entertainment and Tuesday night fireworks.
Music & Taste on the Harbour: a seasonal outdoor concert series (typically Thursdays, 6–9 PM) with live music and food/drink offerings from local restaurants; admission is generally free and often supports a local donation drive.
Best sunset promenade on the island vibe—easy, scenic, and always something going on
A true “marina village” feel with boats, dining, and water activities all in one place
Great for locals and visitors—from a quick coffee walk to a full night out
