It’s beautiful, calm and serene. Definitely a family vacation spot. I would warn teenage girls to be cautious if they’re partying on the beach, I’ve been going here every summer for the past seventeen years and as far as I know there has been at least one date rape every summer on the beach from girls drinking waay too much. If you love to bike the bike trails are amazing, the shopping is cute, and the new Catholic Church right off the island is beautiful. The tennis and golf are both amazing. The waves aren’t too great but if it’s a year of hurricanes you’ll get some 8 footers.

Getting stuck by Pam Slotsema

One time we stayed at the snooty beach a few minutes after 6:00. When we got back to our car, the gate had been locked. Luckily we were able to go in the woods around the gate, but then there was another gate. This one looked impossible to get around. Finally we found a little opening in the woods and we drove through screaming into somebody’s back yard. We drove under their carport and out onto the street. It was the funniest thing ever. Then we calmly drove out of the private resort.

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Kiawah Island by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 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. The community fronts a lovely 10-mile stretch of Atlantic beach; magnolias, live oaks, pine forests, and acres of marsh characterize the island. Kiawah boasts many challenging golf courses, including one designed by Jack Nicklaus at Turtle Point that Golf Digest has rated among the top 10 courses in South Carolina. Golf architect Pete Dye designed a 2 1/2-mile oceanfront course to host the 1991 PGA Ryder Cup March. Tennis magazine rates Kiawah as one of the nation's top tennis resorts, with its 28 hard-surface or Har-Tru clay courts. Anglers are also attracted to the island, especially in spring and fall.
