Hilton Head Plantation Amenities

One of the finest Hilton Head Plantation amenities is the Bluff Walk.  The Bluff Walk’s primary purpose is to service the revetment that protects the Bluff.  It has a secondary use as a recreational leisure path.  The Bluff Walk is .9 mile, one-way with deep water views across the Port Royal Sound.  The Port Royal Sound system is unique compared to other coastal areas in North America because it is a large embayment dominated by expansive salt marshes and an area with high salinity water. An embayment was created when rising sea levels submerged valleys along the coast. The net result was and is that Port Royal Sound represents a marine habitat that extends inland for nearly 20 miles. Half of Beaufort County is actually under marine waters.
