(Indefinitely closed due to COVID) After a long day out in the sun, NOTHING beats some fresh shrimp, local oysters, and a crisp glass of wine or a delicious cocktail. Nestled in Bohicket Marina, you've got a beautiful view in front of you. Most summer nights you'll see heat lightning off the shore. Not too pricy, but romantic in a low country way.

This is a gorgeous course for those who love golf. Similarly - there's a great little Italian joint in the clubhouse. Great pizzas - I love eating in the bar area after a long day out in the sun.

This is the best Italian food you can get without spending ages in the car. Situated off Maybank Highway this is about a 20 minute drive from Kiawah but boy is it worth it. We recommend trying the ravioli doppio (chef's kiss).

Long before Freshfields Village this was the place to go for dinner. Touting a few more casual, less expensive restaurants, this is a great place to eat on the water, and catch a heat lightning show.

This is a great place to ride your bike to. We call this area Alligator Alley. Definitely walk behind the club house to see multiple Alligators laying in the sun. Don't get too close! There's also a BBQ place in the clubhouse if you're feeling hungry1

This is one of the best golf courses in America and was featured in the film Bagger Vance. It also was the home of the 2021 PGA. There's a wonderful restaurant in the club house. Even if you don't golf, bike here, it's GORGEOUS. There are two restaurants onsite, the Ryder Cup bar, and the Atlantic Room.

This is the local grocery store you'll go to. Abundant parking and a pretty good selection. During on-season they'll even shell and steam fresh local shrimp for you, which we highly recommend! Beware - this place can get busy during peak season.
