5 Reasons Why Kiawah Island, SC Should Be Your Next Vacation

1. Variety

One of the greatest things about Kiawah Island is that it offers a wide variety of things to do on the island. Whether you are adventurous or laid back, Kiawah Island is certain to have something right for you. From canoes, paddle boards, and kayaks to amazing restaurants, golf courses and poolside bars you are certain to have a great time.

2. Charleston

If you become tired of the beach or just looking for even more to do, Charleston is a short drive from Kiawah Island. Charleston is an amazing city that offers an open market and numerous restaurants and stores along King Street. Charleston also is home to numerous historic buildings and locations. For those who are interested in history you can even take a boat tour to Fort Sumter.

3. Hospitality

One of the things that really stand out when staying down south is the "southern hospitality". Everyone you see on the island always greets you with a smile and a hello. Being constantly surrounded by such nice people, you will never want to leave the island.

4. Nature

Kiawah Island is home to many creatures that you can commonly see throughout the island. Whether its the dolphins strand feeding at the end of the island, watching the loggerhead sea turtle eggs hatching on the beach, or watching the alligators swim in the ponds, you are sure to be amazed. The island preserves all of the animal habitats including the homes of bobcats.

5. Beach

The beaches at Kiawah Island are one of the nicest beaches in the United States. It stretches 10 miles and provides plenty of space as opposed to some where you barely have room to walk. The Kiawah beach is quiet and relaxing but there is always something going on down there. The beach is also dog friendly so you can bring your dog down with you!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
