Kiawah Island Beach Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Spy loggerhead turtles nesting along the island's beaches.
  • Although it's been called one of America's most romantic beaches, parents shouldn't overlook Kiawah, a great family vacation spot.
  • Beachwalker County Park is open to the public and has restroom facilities, lifeguards, and parking.
  • Book a cottage, resort, or rental home—Kiawah has only one hotel.


Kiawah Island Travel Guide

This eco-sensitive private residential and resort community sprawls across 10,000 acres located 21 miles south of Charleston. Named for the Kiawah Indians who inhabited the islands in the 17th century, it today consists of two resort villages: East Beach and West Beach.
