History of Seabrook
People don't come here to escape the world...they come here to rediscover it.
Rediscover nature
Seabrook Island enjoys a colorful and varied history. Originally inhabited by Native Americans, the island was first discovered by settlers in 1666 when Lieutenant Colonel Robert Sanford claimed the area for England's King Charles.
Seabrook Island owners remain active in guiding the destiny of the island. Seabrook presents a unique opportunity to truly experience the beauty of the sea islands. Pristine beaches frame a landscape of scenic tidal marshes, meandering creeks and wooded trails. Emphasis has been placed on ensuring that these natural resources of the island are protected and maintained for generations to come.
Recently, the Club at Seabrook Island's golf courses achieved the distinction of becoming South Carolina's first Fully Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
