This barrier island is located 25 miles southwest of Charleston. The island is primarily a private beach and golf resort. However, it is a popular destination for tourists, too. Here are a few reasons to visit this charming South Carolina island. If you are a golfer, you can enjoy the beautiful course on Kiawah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you should be aware of the wildlife on the island. You can find numerous species of dolphins on Kiawah Island. These animals can be dangerous, however, so make sure you do your research before going. Bobcats and alligators are also present on the island, so keep an eye out for them! You can also take advantage of Kiawah Island&#8217;s many bike paths to explore the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a quiet vacation, Kiawah Island is the perfect destination. This barrier island is less developed than its neighbor, Charleston. The weather on Kiawah is pleasant when other coastal islands are too cold. It is warm enough to enjoy your vacation without the humidity. The temperatures on the island range from 43 degrees in winter to 88 degrees in summer. And the weather isn&#8217;t as hot as other beaches in the area. For that reason, you&#8217;ll want to visit Kiawah Island in the early fall and early spring. And if you&#8217;re looking for more variety, there&#8217;s a shopping district in Freshfields Village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides fine dining, there&#8217;s a large selection of casual restaurants on Kiawah Island. You can enjoy seafood meals or a quick bite in any one of them. For a relaxed lunch, you can dine at the Loggerhead Grill. And if you&#8217;re feeling adventurous, head to Ocean Room for a steakhouse or the Atlantic Room for a signature seafood restaurant. Either way, you&#8217;ll be eating at the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Freshfields Village is the town center on Kiawah Island. Bicycle trails and roads connect the island&#8217;s various communities. The village has daily events like farmers&#8217; markets and summer movies on the green. And a wine bar holds special wine tastings on Thursday nights. Hege&#8217;s Fine Dining is a popular place for residents and visitors to enjoy an exquisite meal. Porch Bar features live jazz every Thursday. All of these activities are popular and worth checking out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fact that there are plenty of water sports available on Kiawah Island, golfers can still enjoy a round of golf on the island&#8217;s pristine beaches. The Ocean Course is the most famous course on the island, and is set to host the PGA Championship in 2021. It is the fourth best public golf course in the nation. It&#8217;s a favorite amongst both amateurs and professionals. Other popular courses include the Osprey Point Golf Course, which used to be a members-only course. The renowned golf course opened to the public in 2008 and offers four challenging Par 5s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Golfers will also enjoy a relaxing round of golf at the resort&#8217;s five championship courses. The Ocean Course is the best on Kiawah Island and has hosted a number of PGA championships. The Ocean Course is a world-class course that has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments and has been named the #3 Public Golf Course in the US by Golf Digest. Those looking for an unforgettable golf vacation should definitely plan a trip to Kiawah Island!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When planning a vacation to Charleston, South Carolina, don&#8217;t forget to plan a trip to Kiawah Island!
