DeBordieu, DeBordieu Beach or DeBordieu Colony is a private community in Georgetown County, South Carolina. It covers 2,700 acres (11 km2) of land and wildlife preserve. DeBordieu is located south of Pawleys Island and north of Georgetown just off of U.S. Route 17. It is a gated community with a private golf and country club.
The development was named for the DeBordieu family, Huguenot planters who were in the area since the 1700's. The community is now controversial because the instability of the beach at this location (one reason it was developed so late in the history of the SC coast) has led homeowners to attempt to build groins which would adversely affect the nearby world famous Baruch research property and other private properties. The owners could renourish the beach as an alternative, without endangering other areas, but nevertheless pursue permits to allow an option that will cause significant damage to others (including the public interest in research at Baruch) but cost them less. The controversy is reported in the 9 June 2011 issue of The State, Columbia, SC.
