Food for thought is no substitute for the real thing. nbsp;~nbsp; Walt Kelly Since Hurricane Matthew destroyed my villa in Sea Pines Resort, Irsquo;ve been living in Palmetto Dunes Resort. Besides being close to my real estate office, Ive come to enjoy everything about living in Palmetto Dunes and all it has to offer. nbsp;Irsquo;ve been teaching lsquo;Palmetto Dunes 101rsquo; to potential buyers for a long time now.nbsp;nbsp; But, not until I experienced it firsthand did I realize how very special Palmetto Dunes is. nbsp;nbsp; One special feature that is only offered in Palmetto Dunes is the 11-mile lagoon system that has brackish water that comes in through a lock system in Shelter Cove Harbour that runs throughout the resort including Leamington and the Mariner section. Perfect for fishing, kayaking, and boating.

Take out or eat outside the store. nbsp;The General Store offers country breakfast too. Alexanderrsquo;s is one of the oldest restaurants on Hilton Head Island - an island favorite since 1977. nbsp;Palmetto Dunes is now the owner of Alexanderrsquo;s, which reopened after the hurricane. nbsp;It has been completely remodeled into an upscale seafood restaurant and wine bar.nbsp; Fabulous food featuring seasonally inspired cuisine locally caught.nbsp; A truly exquisite date night dining experience especially if you are lucky enough to get a window seat that overlooks the lagoon system.nbsp; Big Jimrsquo;s, named after Jim Self, a member of the Self family that developed Palmetto Dunes is a more casual dining experience. Being a true Southerner, of course, Big Jimrsquo;s offers some of the best BBQ in the Southeast as well as gourmet burgers, grilled pizzas, homemade soups, salads, and seafood, daily specials, and gluten free options. Sit inside or out, overlooking the Trent Jones Golf course. This is a great place to watch your favorite sport on multiple wide screen TVrsquo;s. It is also a great casual family outing. The Dunes House, located right on the beach next to the Marriott Beach and Golf Hotel, is the perfect beach bar and grill. nbsp;Grab a sandwich, burger, fish tacos, and more while enjoying the views of the sea and listening to the surf.nbsp;nbsp; In addition to all the above, Palmetto Dunes offers a Catering and Events service.
