Holiday Weekend Safety Reminders

For the safety of guests attending the events and fireworks show on July 4th, the flying of drones throughout the day and evening is NOT allowed anywhere in the Harbour Town area and especially over the adjacent waterways.

The flying of a drone in the area could result in the delay of the fireworks show or even the stopping of the fireworks show once it has started. There is the potential that the operating system for the drone could affect the firing system for the fireworks thus causing an extremely dangerous situation for the fireworks crew on the barge.

The use of personal fireworks and paper lanterns in Sea Pines is strictly prohibited and enforced.

Please promptly report safety concerns within the community to our Security Department at 843.671.7170. The sooner we get the information, the quicker we can assist. Thank you for your assistance in helping to keep our community safe.
