Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island are some of the most pristine beaches on the East Coast. I lived on neighboring Johns Island for eight years, and my husband and I were married at the River Course on Kiawah Island. Beachwalker is one of our favorite beaches to take our dog on a long walk off-leash.

The Best Places to Eat
The Ocean Course is a public golf course on the far East side of Kiawah Island. It has incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean and is the place to be at Sunset. Be sure to grab dinner or a drink here during your stay.

Wild Olive is a bit of a drive, but it's perfect for a date night and is one of the local's favorite restaurants for celebrations. Their crispy calamari is not to be missed, along with their extensive wine collection.

Rosebank Farm is one of the oldest working farms on the Island. The Rosebank Farms Market on the side of Betsy Kerrison Parkway sells vegetables plucked from the fields, local shrimp, and make sure you pick up a key lime pie; they are out of this world good!
Things To Do
Heron Park Nature Center is a great place to entertain kids. Learn about local animals like sea turtles, land turtles, bobcats, and snakes.

Fresh Fields Village has movies and concerts on the weekends. This city center has outdoor concerts, movies, and festivals. Bring your beach chair and a plastic cup filled with wine. This is a great place to picnic and watch kids run wild.

The Goatery at Kiawah River Farm is a new family-friendly experience where you can hang with goats, pigs, cows, donkeys, and chickens. Be sure to make an appointment, and you will get up close and personal with all the animals. If you're into yoga, don't miss goat yoga on Fridays and Saturdays. I tried it last summer and laughed through the entire class.
