Off Plantation
The "Off Plantation" areas of Hilton Head Island are comprised of separate distinct pockets of residential and higher density units of home ownership. The term "off plantation" simply refers to a neighborhood that is not gated, and does not offer 24-hour security. Of the off plantation neighborhoods, one of the more sizable areas is the Forest Beach. This neighborhood is divided by the Coligny Circle, which separates the higher density beach condominiums from the more residential area of North Forest Beach.

The off plantation areas are popular because they offer more affordable ownership and yet still provide access to all the many amenities that Hilton Head Island has to offer. In the South Forest beach area, an extensive variety of condominium types are available with easy access to the beach
