As you can see, the island is in the shape of a tennis shoe (did mother Nature foresee the future?) and is roughly 12 miles long and four miles wide -- a lot of neat stuff in a small space. The Plantations are color-coded as follows:
| Sea Pines | Yellow | Shipyard | Gray |
| Palmetto Dunes | Fuscia | Wexford | Light Blue |
| Long Cove | Dark Pink | Indigo Run | Red |
| Port Royal | Teal | Palmetto Hall | Pink |
| Head Head Plantation | Light Green |
