A Hilton Head Island community that celebrates its Gullah roots

The Squire Pope neighborhood of Hilton Head Island is rich in history. It was the largest Gullah neighborhood founded on the island in the 1860s, filled with farmers and shrimp boat captains who dropped their nets in Skull Creek. The community’s Gullah roots are celebrated today, even as the neighborhood grows. Acclaimed restaurants and lower-priced homes than other parts of the island make it a community on the rise, as does its position. “The location is great because you are near the Cross Island Parkway,” says Kelly Ruhlin, a realtor with Weichert Realtors Coastal Properties. “You can get to downtown Bluffton. You can get to the south end of the island in no time. There are bike paths. That’s the benefit.”

Squire Pope is  known for its scenic marsh views and serene atmosphere.

The Gullah Museum of Hilton Head Island showcases history

The Gullah Museum of Hilton Head Island showcases the culture and impact the Gullah People have on the island. The Coastal Discovery Museum, a Smithsonian-affiliated institution, works to preserve the region’s animals, plants and history through tours of its 68-acre campus.

Greens Shell Park has a basketball court and is adjacent to Greens Shell Enclosure, a 3-acre archaeological site that dates back to 1335. Alligators, turtles and several species of large birds call Jarvis Creek Park’s 53 acres their home. The park also allows fishing on its pond, where bass is commonly caught. Each February, the island’s Gullah Celebration highlights Gullah food, art and ways of life. The PGA Tour’s RBC Heritage tournament is held each April at nearby Harbour Town Golf Links.

Green Shell park has playgrounds, basketball courts and open trais.
