Ocean Gate Vacation Rentals on Hilton Head Island
Ocean Gate is a villa-style community in South Forest Beach, positioned near the shoreline and the Forest Beach bike path. The complex sits in a part of South Forest Beach that keeps the ocean close without being in the busiest stretch near Coligny Beach Park — a balance that works well for guests who want beach proximity and a somewhat quieter setting. The paved bike path runs adjacent to the complex, connecting south to Coligny Beach Park and north through the full length of Forest Beach. Coligny Plaza, Coconut Joe's, and the Coligny Kroger are all within a short bike ride.
