Spend Labor Day Weekend on Kiawah's Beautiful Beaches
Labor Day is your last chance to enjoy the carefree feeling of summer before the seasons change. Stretch out on ten miles of pristine Atlantic shoreline, search for seashells at sunrise, watch dolphins cruising the surf, or simply relax with a good book beneath an umbrella.
Early September brings warm ocean temperatures, smaller crowds than midsummer, and spectacular sunsets that seem to linger just a little longer. Explore Kiawah Island beaches.
Explore Kiawah Island by Bike
With more than 30 miles of leisure trails, biking remains one of the best ways to experience the island.
Ride beneath majestic live oaks draped in Spanish moss, travel alongside salt marshes filled with wildlife, or pedal to Freshfields Village for coffee, lunch, or an afternoon of shopping.
Families especially love how easily the trail system connects beaches, parks, restaurants, and neighborhoods.
Play Championship Golf on Kiawah
