The Seabrook Island Club

Seabrook Island, South Carolina

• WEBSITE

This 2,200-acre barrier island, 23 miles from Charleston, has quietly been undergoing a transformation. Over the last several years, millions of dollars have been invested to enhance the vacation experience. Traditionally, activity has centered around the beachclub, restaurants, and clubhouse at the core of the village, and that area remains a focal point. Now, however, there is a second hub: at Palmetto Lake where the racquet club, fitness center, and equestrian center cluster together near the entrance to the resort.

Though upstaged by Kiawah Island, its larger neighbor just to the east, Seabrook has its own undeniable charms. Secluded and tastefully developed, it affords a tranquil retreat, busier near the beach club and tennis center, but quieter as you move away from there into a Lowcountry island of forest and tidal marshes where green space has been conscientiously preserved. Two golf courses trail through the forests, both of them members of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. Not to be outdone, tennis snagged a spacious layout bordered by trees for its 15 clay courts, one of them a stadium, and a handsome clubhouse with broad verandas overlooking the action.

Laura Ferreira came to Seabrook in 2017, initially as the assistant pro before becoming director of racquet sports in 2020. Prior to her arrival she'd taught at clubs and camps in New York and was the graduate assistant coach of the men's and women's tennis teams at Augusta University in Georgia. At Seabrook, she oversees programs that attract a mix of club members and vacationers and her roster addresses the needs of both with stroke clinics, workouts, men's and ladies days, spring, summer, and holiday junior programs from Quickstart to teens, a mix of monthly tournaments or socials, tailor-made programs for groups or teams, and private lessons.

Other Recreation

Beach. There are two beaches on the island: Pelican Beach, the busier of the two given its location at the village core adjacent to the beach club, and wilder North Beach, away from the main activity and distinguished by its breadth.

Golf Courses. There are two golf courses on the island:

Fitness Center. The sprawling single-story Palmetto Lake House does double duty as a community center and fitness complex. Among its features are an indoor lap pool, a vast outdoor swimming pool, a cardio and weight room with windows on the lawn and lake, and a full suite of fitness classes.

And ... Seabrook also has an Equestrian Center offering instruction (both English and Western), pony rides, and guided trail rides on some three miles of trails and the beach. There are also bike lanes throughout the resort and continuing beyond the entrance to the shops and restaurants at Freshfields Village just outside.

Children's Programs

Operating during the summer, Camp Seabrook takes kids ages 4 to 11 from 9 a.m. to noon, Monday to Friday, for sessions of organized activities.
