Shipyard Resort is both a residential and resort community as well.  Shipyard is positioned in the heart of Hilton Head, with two entrance gates—one at Pope Avenue and the other off of Highway 278. The active 803-acre plantation possesses three nine-hole golf courses and the Van Der Meer Shipyard Racquet Club, rated among the top 50 tennis resorts in the country.  Within Shipyard is the oceanfront Crowne Plaza Resort, offering fine dining plus casual fare, nightclubs, shops, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and an on-site health club.

In addition to its winding trails for walking, biking, rollerblading or jogging, Shipyard is home to single family homes as well as villa residences and rental properties.  The beautiful beaches of Shipyard can be enjoyed by guests and residents of the plantation with access at the Shipyard Beach Club.
