Many people flock to Hilton Head Island every year to enjoy the beautiful beaches and the breathtaking ocean views. Others travel to the island for its world-class tennis offerings, with more than 300 tennis courts, including some of the nation’s best as ranked by Tennis Magazine.

Meanwhile, some of the beachgoers are unaware of just how good Hilton Head Island’s tennis scene really is.

For hardcore tennis enthusiasts, a Hilton Head beach and tennis vacation wouldn’t be complete without visiting one of the nationally-ranked tennis courts, all of which are located on parts of the island with beach access. In Shipyard Plantation, the Van der Meer Racquet Club offers 23 tennis courts, three of them indoors. The programs there are designed to improve your tennis game, with both single-day and multiple-day tennis clinics offered, both for beginning and advanced players. Shipyard Plantation does have beach access, making it a good site for a Hilton Head beach and tennis vacation.
