Face Coverings

In accordance with guidance from the CDC and the strong recommendation of our Governor, we are requiring all guests and members (over the age of 2), and team members, to wear face coverings. This includes all pool decks (Beach Club, Cloister, Lodge, Inn and Fitness Center), the common areas of the Beach Club, The Cloister, The Lodge, The Inn, Spa and Fitness, Retreat, and Tennis lobbies. It also includes the beach in front of the Beach Club and in beach chairs provided by Sea Island. It excludes eating, drinking, and exercising outdoors or indoors in our fitness facilities.

Why are we asking guests to wear face coverings?

• To help protect the health of Sea Island guests, members and team members. Sea Island team members are respecting guests and members by wearing a mask and we ask that our guests and members do the same.

When do you need to wear a face covering?

• Whenever you are in a public space (lobbies, retail spaces and pro shops, The Market, etc.) where other guests, members or team members are present.

When do you not need to wear a face covering?

• If you are sitting in a pool chair at a Sea Island pool or on the beach in a Sea Island beach chair and no one is present (within 6 feet) who is not with your party, you are not required to wear a face covering. However, if you seek service from a Sea Island team member, we request you put on your face covering. If you leave your chair to use the restroom, get food or drinks, go to the game room, go to the Surf Shop at the Beach Club, etc., we request you put on your face covering.

What about dining at a restaurant?

• Please wear your face covering when you approach the host stand or are waiting to be seated. When you are seated at your table in a restaurant, you may remove your face covering. We request you put your face covering on if you leave the table to go to the restroom and when you leave the restaurant after service.

What about Sea Island activities?

You must wear a face covering for Sea Island activities except when you are:

• playing golf, hitting balls on the golf range, or getting a golf lesson
• playing tennis or getting a tennis lesson
• kayaking, sailing or paddleboarding
• horseback riding (after you have mounted the horse)
