An hour from Savannah, this quiet oasis is located along 5,000 oceanfront acres, and has been a high-end retreat for more than 50 years. Deliciously unique food and beverage spots can be found throughout the property. But it is the Quarterdeck that is the cornerstone of Harbour Town. Completely torn down in 2021 and opened in April of 2022, the all-new, world-class Quarterdeck offers 300-degree sunset views overlooking the Harbour Town Yacht Basin, Calibogue Sound and the famed 18th hole of Harbour Town Golf Links, making it one of the most sought-after dining venues on Hilton Head Island. The Quarterdeck’s Lowcountry seafood, including locally sourced oysters, clams and Blue Crab claws, counts among the finest in the world. The Quarterdeck cooks its seafare and other meats in two Josper charcoal ovens imported from Barcelona, giving the food a rich, earthy flavor. 

From the Calibogue ‘Rita to Sunset on the Sound, enjoy the Quarterdeck’s plethora of wittily named specialty cocktails, over 25 beers, or the magnificent wine list.

Revel in the expansive wraparound deck, indoor bar and dining, as well as new rooftop oyster bar. Don’t forget to enjoy the Captain’s bar on the main floor and the outdoor Umbrella Bar, which features live music. Savor exquisite dining and drinking from a long list of specialty cocktails, premium wines and everything in between. “You can watch the sunset while having a drink, with a 100-mile view in almost every direction,” the resort’s Director of Food and Beverage, Matthew Roher, said. “I’ve been living down here for 25 years, in Savannah and Hilton Head. There’s just nothing like it.”
