Harbour Town Inn is an intimate 60-room boutique hotel within the Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, at 7 Lighthouse Lane—steps from the landmark red-and-white striped Harbour Town Lighthouse and the marina. The inn's setting is at the very heart of Harbour Town's village, the most visually distinctive corner of Hilton Head Island, with yacht masts, waterside restaurants, and boutique shops lining the marina boardwalk. Guest rooms offer marina or lagoon views and feature coastal décor with warm wood accents; King Rooms and Lighthouse Suites are the most requested categories. The inn's concierge arranges boat rentals and sailing excursions from the marina, deep-sea fishing charters, and tee times across Sea Pines' four golf courses, including the Harbour Town Golf Links—host of the annual RBC Heritage PGA Tour tournament each April. Sea Pines Resort's Beach Club, accessible by complimentary resort trolley, provides oceanfront pool and dining facilities on the Atlantic side of the island. The pedestrian and cycling environment within Sea Pines is exceptional; bike rentals are available from the inn's front desk and an extensive trail network threads through maritime forest and past multiple lagoons. Dining immediately around the marina ranges from seafood casual to upscale American; the Quarterdeck restaurant and bar is a perennial local favorite for sunsets over the water.

Tips for visiting
- Book well ahead for the week of the RBC Heritage golf tournament in April, when the entire Sea Pines area sells out.
- The complimentary Sea Pines trolley runs on a timed schedule; check the route map at the front desk to plan beach days efficiently.
- Rent bikes from the inn and cycle to Alligator Corner—the marshy crossing where wildlife sightings are common—before 9 a.m.
- The Quarterdeck bar on the marina offers some of the best sunset views on Hilton Head Island and fills quickly after 5 p.m.
- Non-motorized water sports from the marina (kayaks, paddleboards) are generally less expensive than concierge-arranged excursions.
When to visit
Spring and fall offer ideal golf and cycling weather. April's RBC Heritage week brings peak energy to the marina but also peak prices and crowds. Summer is warmest for water sports; book early for July and August weekends.
Accessibility
