Equestrian
The Seabrook Equestrian Center has forty-two stalls and three miles of trails. Both English and Western instruction is available, plus popular beach rides.

Marina
Bohicket Marina, adjacent to Seabrook Island, is a full-service facility that can accommodate yachts up to 110 feet. The marina contains 194 slips, full electrical power, a ship's store, dining and shopping. This large boating complex is located three and a half miles from the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. Each May, Bohicket Marina hosts a major bill fishing tournament. Charter fishing boats, sailboats, ocean cruisers and run-abouts are available for hire.

Golf
What makes Seabrook golf unique is its uncrowded playing conditions. Unlike all other Charleston area resorts, Seabrook's two courses are not open to the public. Robert Trent Jones described his design, Crooked Oaks, as a "hard par, easy bogey", and "one of my best". After a $2.3 million renovation, Crooked Oaks now features the only bentgrass greens in the Charleston area.

Ocean Winds, designed by William Byrd, winds along 6,805 yards. The course leads through forests of live oaks and loblolly pines, past sea marsh and tidal creeks to the Atlantic Ocean, whose swirling breezes provide an ever-changing test of golf. Both courses will exceed your expectations with their quiet surroundings and challenging play.

Tennis
Seabrook's Racquet Club ranks among Tennis Magazine's "Top 50 U.S. Resorts", and features 15 professionally maintained clay courts and a well-stocked, full-service pro shop. Our service-oriented tennis staff and a broad range of programs ensure guests an excellent tennis experience.

Shopping
Seabrook logo items such as clothing, jewelry, home furnishings, sports equipment, gifts, cards, photographic supplies and services, books, toys and personal items are all available at island shops. Sporting apparel and equipment are also available at the golf and tennis pro shops. Groceries, gasoline and health and hardware items are available at the General Store. Tidal Creek Pharmacy, just outside the Seabrook Gate, offers healthcare items and sundries. Additional shopping facilities are located on nearby Johns Island.

ISLAND FACTS  |  HISTORY OF SEABROOK  |  WILDLIFE  |  COMMUNITY INFO  |  ABOUT CHARLESTON

Seabrook Island enjoys a colorful and varied history. Originally inhabited by Native Americans, the island was first discovered by settlers in 1666 when Lieutenant Colonel Robert Sanford claimed the area for England's King Charles.

Seabrook was knows as Jones Island, and indigo and rice were established as its first cash crops. In 1753, it was renamed Simmons Island by the new owner, Ebenezer Simmons, whose grandson cultivated the island's next great source of revenue, cotton. Another owner, William Seabrook, christened the island with a new name in 1816. It remains so to this day. Ownership changed several more times. Along the way, the Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina established the Barrier Island Environmental Center.

Today, as a private community, Seabrook Island owners remain active in guiding the destiny of the island. Seabrook presents a unique opportunity to truly experience the beauty of the sea islands.

Pristine beaches frame a landscape of scenic tidal marshes, meandering creeks and wooded trails. Emphasis has been placed on ensuring that these natural resources of the island are protected and maintained for generations to come.

Recently, the Club at Seabrook Island's golf courses achieved the distinction of becoming South Carolina's first "Fully Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary".
