Best Spots to Catch a Sunset or Sunrise
Captain Sam’s Creek is the most wonderful spot to sit back, relax, and watch the sunset from a sandy inlet located between Kiawah and Seabrook Island. The sandy bank is known as a hotspot for dolphin watching as they feed and watching the sunset.
Bohicket Marina offers the perfect spot to drop your kayak and head into the hidden creeks and channels of Bohicket Creek for a stunning sunset. When you’re done, you can come back to land and enjoy a bite to eat or delicious ice cream!
Must-Taste Dishes
With such a wide variety of delicious Lowcountry cuisine, it can be difficult to decide which dish you must try. But don’t worry, we have had plenty of time living here to put together our favorite meals for you to try.
For classic French cuisine in a casual, inviting atmosphere, visit Hege’s to try their infamous Gullah Shrimp, Almond Crusted Tuna, or Chicken Cassoulet for fresh, seasonal, local dishes prepared in light, natural sauces.
Although most famous for their 48 exceptional wines, FortyEight offers a decadent Sesame Marinated Swordfish for a one-of-a-kind dinner that will make your Kiawah Island vacation unforgettable.
For the best to-go food, locally sourced with an ever-changing assortment of salads, sandwiches, cheese and charcuterie boards, takeaway meals, drinks and more, visit Café Eugenia to try their specialty Charcuterie Sandwich.
Ditch the Car, Walk or Bike the Trails!
One of the best ways to explore the island is by walking or biking the trails. Ditch the car, grab your bike or walking shoes, and hit the trails for a one-of-a-kind adventure. On Seabrook Island, you can walk between neighborhoods, to the beach, through shopping centers, and more!
Bike through the beach for stunning water views, cool breezes, and white sandy trails. Ride through Freshfields Village for an exhilarating ride through an open-air shopping center with shopping and dining along the way. Or head to Bohicket Marina for an adventure on the water with shopping, dining, and fun water rentals along the way.
Look for Wildlife
The island is teeming with wildlife from alligators hiding in the ponds to pelicans soaring over the waves, everywhere you look is an opportunity for wildlife viewing.
The beach is easily the most popular exploration spot– and for good reason! With plenty of viewing spots from your towel on the sand, your bike on the shores, or your kayak in the water, watch for dolphins, starfish, pelicans, sand dollars, jellyfish, crabs, and more.
Get Out on the Water
Ditch the car, bike, and walking shoes for an even better adventure– one on the waterways! Whether by kayak, paddleboard, private boat, or fishing charter, there are endless opportunities to explore the water on Seabrook Island.
Rent kayaks, paddleboards, skimboards, and more for the adventure of a lifetime with the whole family. Looking for more of a guided tour with a fishing guide or wildlife expert? You’re in luck! The island also offers plenty of guided tours with local experts to get you off the land and onto the water. Check out our Exclusives Guide for recommendations!
