Why Spend Winter On Seabrook Island?

Seabrook Island is a tiny, eco-friendly barrier island in the beautiful South Carolina islands, a sublime warm weather winter destination to kick the winter blues, escape the cold, and experience a quintessential private island escape, without a passport!   

Trade snowflakes for sandy beaches, ski boots for sandals, and end of summer stress for complete serenity when you spend a winter vacation on Seabrook Island. Located only 25 miles from downtown Charleston, Seabrook Island is Charleston’s only truly private oceanfront community, an oasis of tranquility and natural beauty with luxury resort amenities, world-class sports facilities, and wonderful, warm, winter weather to enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of the Lowcountry. 

1. Beach Strolls & Bike Rides

Seabrook Island offers the perfect beach escape from the winter cold. The 3.5-mile stretch of private and secluded Seabrook Island beaches are uncrowded throughout the year, yet winter brings an extra special serenity. Even if the temperatures are chilly, you can layer up for a leisurely beach stroll along the shore, curl up on a beach towel with your favorite novel (or loved one), or take a family bike ride on the hard packed sands. From Pelican Beach to North Beach, the shoreline abounds in seabirds, wildlife and soul stirring natural beauty. 

If you’re planning a vacation with your dog, Seabrook Island is a pup’s paradise. Aside from the restricted zones to protect our local wildlife, you pooch is welcome year round on our beaches, and off leash out of season (October 1 to March 31). Start planning today with our Guide to A Dog-Friendly Vacation on Seabrook Island.

2. Eco-Adventures & Nature Tours

Seabrook Island is an Audubon International Certified Sustainable Community with a deep appreciation for the protection and preservation of the island’s natural beauty. Seabrook Island is a top destination for ecotourism with a wide range of natural habitats to explore on self-guided adventures or with an island local on a guided nature tour. The lack of heat and humidity means the winter weather is perfect to kayak or SUP the waterways, embark on a fishing charter, take a dolphin tour, or sail away into a scenic sunset. Off the water, there’s gentle trails through old dunes and Live Oak forests, horseback riding on the beach, and world-class winter sports. 

Night Heron Park on neighboring Kiawah Island is a haven for outdoor adventurers and nature lovers with an abundance of family-oriented activities, nature tours, and wildlife experiences on offer, year-round!

3. Warm Weather Winter Sports

A winter vacation on Seabrook Island means world-class warm weather golf and tennis, with a high chance of pickleball! Guests on Seabrook Island have easy access to 36-holes of challenging play on two eco-friendly, Audubon certified golf courses – the oceanfront Ocean Winds Golf Course and the classic Crooked Oaks Golf Course weaving through the Lowcountry landscapes. For snowbird golfers planning an extended winter stay on Seabrook, nearby Kiawah Island boasts five award-winning golf courses, including the prestigious public Ocean Course, host of the historic 2021 PGA Championship. 

Calling all tennis lovers! The top-quality courts at the Seabrook Island Racquet Club are open year round and there’s no need to plan your pickleball or tennis for the cool of the morning or late afternoon – the weather conditions are perfect for all day play. Need to keep up your fitness regime on vacation? We’ve got that too! The Seabrook Island Lake House fitness center is open year round with daily group fitness classes, personal trainers, and an inviting heated indoor pool. 

4. Spas, Shopping & Succulent Seafood

Switch to a slower pace and indulge in pampering spa treatments, upscale retail therapy, and succulent southern seafood fresh from the Atlantic Ocean and Lowcountry waterways. On Seabrook Island, the Beach Club is closed for dining in the winter months, but guests have delicious lunch and dinner options at the Island House Bohicket Lounge, Palmetto Room and Seaview Terrace, or can cozily gather round the fire pits on the Golf Veranda. 

Other local shopping, dining and spa options include Freshfields Village and Bohicket Marina, located between Seabrook Island and Kiawah Island, The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, and unique shopping and culinary experiences in charming Charleston, without the summer crowds!

5. Festive, Family-Friendly Winter Events

Seabrook Island’s ’24/25 winter events calendar is crammed full of fun, festive and family friendly festivals to kick start the holiday season with true Lowcountry charm and hospitality. The winter months are oyster harvest season in South Carolina’s coastal waters so be sure to experience the traditional taste of the Lowcountry at a classic Charleston oyster roast, or from the comfort of your cozy winter beach house on Seabrook Island.  Check out these great resources:

Top 7 Golf Courses on Seabrook & Kiawah Island

Traveling to Seabrook in 2025? Seabrook Island is home to two award-winning Audubon Sanctuary golf courses, offering an unparalleled golfing experience surrounded by nature and immersed in luxury. The Seabrook Island Club became the first golf club in the state to become a certified member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf in 1996. To this day, the island’s eco-friendly golf courses continually rank among the “best you can play” courses in South Carolina. 

Seabrook Island Club features two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Ocean Winds Golf Course and Crooked Oaks Golf Course. These two courses are open only to Seabrook Island Club members and guests, but we have good news… Almost all of our rentals here at Seabrook Exclusives include a complimentary amenity card to the Seabrook Island Club. That means you get to experience these legendary courses for yourself with a premier level of privacy, picturesque surroundings, and year-round PGA professional golf, without the crowds! 

With only two golf courses to choose from on Seabrook Island, we’ll also explore the nearby Audubon championship courses over on Kiawah Island. The Kiawah Island Golf Resort courses are open to the public, so you can make a quick five to ten minute drive over to Kiawah for a day pass to enjoy the best of both islands. Ready to start planning your must-play golf courses on Seabrook and Kiawah Island? Read on!

1. Ocean Winds

Ocean Winds is a challenging par 72 course with 18 holes and 6,802 yards designed by Willard Byrd. This strategic course will take you to the Atlantic Ocean with staggering winds and unpredictable conditions for a test of your true ability. 

Recent renovations spearheaded by Rees Jones, Inc. have made the course even more challenging. Up for the challenge? Head over to Seabrook Island Club with your complimentary amenity card when you stay in our select rentals and test your skills!

2. Crooked Oaks

The Crooked Oaks Course, reminiscent of its name, is a winding course through maritime forest, marsh, and ancient mossy oaks requiring apt ability to strategically plan your play. The challenging par 72 course features 18 holes and 6,780 yards designed by Robert Trent Jones.

3. The Ocean Course

The Ocean Course is ranked the #4 Public Golf Course in the US and ranked among the Top 25 of 100 Greatest US Golf Courses by Golf Digest. Kiawah’s Ocean Course is a true test of skill for avid golfers as a par 72 course with 18 holes designed by Pete and Alice Dye.

This course lies at the easternmost point of the island with ten holes hugging the Atlantic Ocean, making it the most beachfront course in the Northern Hemisphere. While this makes for one-of-a-kind unmatched scenery as you golf with a panoramic ocean view, it also exposes players to difficult breezes and unpredictable winds. If you’re up for the challenge, The Ocean Course is the number one course on Kiawah Island that should make it to your must-play list!

4. Oak Point Golf Course

The Oak Point Golf Course was awarded the 2019 Charleston Golf Course Owners Association “Course of the Year” for its strategic challenges and fresh design. The par 72 course features 18 holes designed by Clyde Johnston, a well-known Southeastern golf architect. 

Think you have what it takes to take on the Oak Point Golf Course with strategy over power? Then Oak Point Golf Course should be next on your list!

5. Osprey Point Golf Course

Osprey Point Golf Course started out as just a private members-only golf course, but quickly became well-known for its playability and notable layout. Now known as one of Kiawah’s championship Audubon certified courses, Tom Fazio led its renovation in 2014.

Every hole on the Osprey Point Golf Course is notable, with four par-3s, four par-5s, and ten par-4s ranging from 340 to 461 yards. If you’re up for the challenge, head over to Osprey Point Golf Course for a challenging but memorable day on the green!

6. Turtle Point Golf Course

The Turtle Point Golf Course underwent extensive renovations in 2016 with architectural and design assistance from Jack Nicklaus and his team. Since these improvements, the course has seen rave reviews from fans and golfers across the nation. The par 72 course features 18 holes with new Paspalum grass, rebuilt bunkers, laser-leveled tee boxes, and reestablishment of irrigation.

Ready to test these improvements for yourself and prove Jack Nicklaus’ “mind over muscle” strategy? Add the Turtle Point Golf Course to your list!

Sea Turtle Season on Seabrook Island

Sea Turtle Season has arrived in the South Carolina Lowcountry! 

Seabrook Island is a private gated resort community with world-class luxury amenities, Audubon-certified championship golf courses, award-winning tennis facilities, and exclusive vacation rentals immersed in tropical landscapes and nestled along the secluded Atlantic coastline. 

Seabrook Island is also a preserved wildlife sanctuary and critical habitat for sea turtles that migrate back to our coastline year after year, make their nests in the dunes, and wait patiently for their baby hatchlings to emerge and join them back in their journey through the ocean. 

Seabrook Island celebrated the first turtle nest of the season on May 10th and a second nest was found only 4 days later, with the mamma turtle still busy laying her eggs and building her nest on the beach. The excitement is real, and with the 2021 season breaking previous nesting records, we’re hoping to see lots of tiny hatchlings on Seabrook Island this season.

Sea Turtle Season

Sea turtle nesting begins in May. Loggerheads are world travelers – they mate in coastal regions and make long migrations swimming thousands of miles during breeding season to lay their eggs back home, where they first hatched. They navigate their way back home by sensing the invisible lines of the Earth’s magnetic field.

The males remain in the ocean and the female swims to shore laying an average of 4 to 5 nests with over 100 eggs at a time. After an incubation period of approximately 55-65 days, the tiny hatchlings begin to emerge, making their first tracks from the sand dunes down to the Atlantic Ocean. The peak time to view sea turtle hatchlings on Seabrook Island usually falls around July and August.

Where to See Loggerhead Sea Turtles on Seabrook Island

Seabrook Island boasts 3.5 miles of wild, tropical and uncrowded beaches, open only to visiting guests and residents of the island. Sea turtle nests are found above the high tide line from Pelican Beach near the mouth of the North Edisto River (top spot for a sunset!) to North Beach and Captain Sam’s Inlet at the Kiawah River. It’s highly likely time spent on the Seabrook Island beaches will result in a rewarding turtle experience. 

The beaches of Seabrook Island are pet-friendly, but your pet is a predator to nesting sea turtles! Please follow the color coded system and beach rules for pets to protect the sea turtles, otherwise your pooch has plenty to look forward to on pet-friendly Seabrook Island!    

Bohicket Marina is only a short drive (or bike ride!) from Seabrook Island with a wide variety of kayak and paddleboard tours, shrimping and fishing charters, dolphin excursions, and eco-adventures in the serene salt water marshes. With a local guide leading the way, getting on the waterways is one of the best ways to experience personal encounters with the wildlife of Seabrook Island. 

Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol

The Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol is a volunteer organization that protects and preserves the South Carolina loggerheads sea turtles that visit our beaches. The volunteers patrol the beaches daily during nesting and hatching season identifying, protecting, and taking regular inventory of our local Seabrook Island turtle nests and hatchlings.

In 1978, the loggerhead sea turtle was listed as threatened under the US Federal Endangered Species Act, and these magnificent gentle giants of the ocean are in danger of extinction. During your vacation on Seabrook Island, please help us maintain and preserve Seabrook Island’s wildlife habitat and natural resources and respect the rules. 

If you’re interested in learning more about our local sea turtles, the Sea Turtle Care Center at the South Carolina Aquarium on Charleston Harbor offers a unique and interactive experience of the rescue, rehab and release of South Carolina’s sea turtles. If you’re keen to get involved locally during your stay on Seabrook, the Turtle Patrol always welcomes enthusiastic volunteers.

Turtle Nesting Rules

If you find a sea turtle or eggs, please observe only from a distance. It is against the law to walk on the sand dunes, remove any vegetation, and touch or disturb nesting sea turtles, hatchlings or nests. Identified nests are marked with a white pole and orange DNR sign.

Avoid digging holes on the beach as you may uncover a nesting site. If the kiddies (or pooch), start digging, please fill ALL holes, unfilled holes can trap the hatchlings. Knock down your creative sandcastles after your beach day too, creating a clear path for the hatchlings to make their way to the ocean.

Artificial lighting disturbs and disorientates the nesting turtles and hatchlings – do not use flashlights, lanterns, or flash photography on the beaches. If you’re staying at the oceanfront, all lights visible from the beach must be turned off between 9pm and 8am from May and October.

Report any unmarked nests, emerging hatchlings, or injured, stranded or sick sea turtles to Seabrook Island Turtle Patrol at 1-843-310-4280.

Leave only footprints behind on our beaches!

Fun & Fascinating Facts about Sea Turtles

  • Loggerheads are the most common of four turtle species in South Carolina, rare green sea turtles, Kemp’s Ridleys and Leatherbacks also nest on the South Carolina coastline.
  • The name Loggerhead comes from the turtle’s massive head and powerful jaw.
  • Loggerhead sea turtles are the most abundant of all sea turtle species in the US, and the most widespread sea turtle species in the world.
  • Loggerheads are the largest of the hard-shell turtles, full size adults reach about 3-4 feet long and weigh approximately 250 pounds.
  • Loggerheads have a long life span of over 50 years.
  • Weather conditions determine the gender of a loggerhead. Warm summer temperatures result in more female hatchlings, cool summers produce more males.
  • Loggerheads confuse plastic bags in the ocean with their favorite food source, a jellyfish! As little as half a gram of ingested plastic can kill a baby sea turtle. Skip the single-use plastic on Seabrook!

Calling all turtle lovers! Stay oceanfront on Seabrook Island and experience the beauty of these majestic creatures making their way to and from the Atlantic Ocean from your private beach boardwalk. Seabrook Exclusives offers a hand-picked collection of 70+ vacation homes and villas with access to the Seabrook Island Club amenities and miles of secluded shoreline for memorable wildlife experiences on the South Carolina coastline.

Top 10 Reasons to Vacation on Seabrook Island

Savor time with loved ones, bask in the beauty of nature and start vacation traditions of your own on Seabrook Island. On Seabrook Island time moves slower, the lifestyle is good, and you’re guaranteed to go home relaxed, restored, and rejuvenated, but that’s not the only reason to visit Seabrook! 

Here’s our top 10 reasons to put Seabrook Island on the top of your must visit destinations for a memorable vacation, any time of year!

1. PRIVATE, UNCROWDED, TROPICAL BEACHES

Seabrook Island boasts 3.5 miles of private, uncrowded (and dog friendly!) beaches along the Atlantic Coastline, open only to residents and guests on the island. Gentle waves lap the shore, the hard packed sand is perfect for building sandcastles, riding bikes and taking long beach walks, and the beaches on Seabrook Island offer coastal experiences unique to the island.

One of the most unique experiences on Seabrook Island is “strand feeding”. Cap’n Sams Inlet separates Seabrook & Kiawah Island and is one of the few places in the world where you can witness dolphins strand feeding in groups along the tidal creeks and marshes. From May to October, Loggerhead sea turtles make their home on Seabrook Island to nest and then their hatchlings make their way to the Atlantic Ocean so wildlife viewings are a regular occurrence when you walk the pristine shoreline on Seabrook Island.

Seabrook Island is also one of the few places on the east coast where you can ride horses along the beach! Whether you’re an experienced rider, or beginner to the saddle, the Seabrook Equestrian Center has a horseback riding experience for the whole crew.

2. LUXURY RESORT AMENITIES

Seabrook Island has luxury resort amenities for every type of traveler. The Seabrook Island Beach Club boasts two spectacular oceanfront pools and a private beach with loungers, cabanas and ocean views comparable to the Caribbean. Guests can dine oceanfront at Pelican’s Nest, poolside at Cap’n Sams Grill or pick up snacks and drinks from the Seabrook Shoppe. Traveling to Seabrook Island with kids? After one session of activities and adventures at Camp Seabrook, they’ll be begging for more! 

The Seabrook Island Lake House, located near the Racquet Club and Equestrian Center, offers visitors a different view of the island. Nestled on the shoreline of Palmetto Lake, the Lake House features a state of the art fitness center with daily classes, basketball courts and playgrounds, and a scenic lakeside pool and sundeck set in Lowcountry landscapes.

3. WORLD-CLASS GOLF & TENNIS FACILITIES

Seabrook Island has it all! Miles of pristine, dog friendly beaches, luxury oceanfront amenities, and world-class golf and tennis facilities. Seabrook Island is home to two eco-friendly, Audubon-certified golf courses offering 36-holes of unique and challenging play for all skill levels, and both recently renovated by Rees Jones, Inc.

The Ocean Winds Golf Course, designed by Willian Byrd, lies oceanfront on the Atlantic Coastline and the Crooked Oaks Golf Course, a Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed course, weaves through the ancient oaks, marshes, maritime forests and Lowcountry landscapes of Seabrook Island. In addition, golfers have a state of the art practice facility with PGA professional instructors at the Seabrook Island Club, and five world-class golf courses on Kiawah Island, including the award-winning Oceans Course ranked one of America’s Greatest Public Courses by Golf Digest.

If tennis is your game, the Seabrook Island Racquet Club is consistently voted one of the “Top 25 US Tennis Resorts” by Tennis Magazine, with state of the art facilities, 15 professionally maintained clay courts including four night courts, a porch for viewers, and tennis camps and programs throughout the year.

Live Oaks and towering Palmettos line the pathways, dolphins frolic in the waterways, rustic trails wind through the old dunes and forests with an abundance of birdlife and wildlife, and scenic overlooks offer spectacular views of the untouched natural coastline of Seabrook Island.
