Palmetto Dunes is a 2000 acre resort/residential community and is one of the most visited on the Island. When you consider the three miles of beach, the three championship courses designed by Fazio, Trent Jones, and Arthur Hill, the twenty-five court Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center, and Shelter Cove Harbour - the largest deep water Harbour on the Island - surrounded by fine restaurants, shops, and villas, it is no wonder Palmetto Dunes is so popular. One of the unique features of this plantation is the twelve mile lagoon system, fed by the waters of Broad Creek, which meanders by the homes and villas and is great for canoeing and fishing.
