One of the main reasons to visit Kiawah Island is the beach scene. Serenity at its best. Soft sand, rolling waves and the sound of seagulls will always wash your cares away in a matter of moments. However, we at Akers Ellis would like to remind you that there is more water to the island than just the ocean!
Kiawah River meanders all the way around Kiawah Island and makes for a beautiful and exciting day on the water. A quick kayak rental in the morning, and you are off to a new adventure! So, you say you aren’t up for much physical labor on this vacation? No problem – catch the tides right and you barely even have to paddle!
This river is filled with extensive wildlife – dolphins, nurse sharks, crab, oysters, turtles... the list goes on! One thing you certainly don’t want to forget is your camera. And the river is full of areas to pull off for some quick fishing, crabbing or just photo taking. Want to meet some locals to ask where they would have dinner tonight? This is where you do it! We all love this river and spend a great amount of time enjoying it.
One of the greatest things about Kiawah River is that it leads to the ocean. Grab your beach chairs and catch that tide all the way out to the ocean. Spend a few hours relaxing on the beach before you catch the tide coming back in to make your kayak trip a breeze. This is a perfect way to appease everyone – a little kayaking, a little wildlife, a little lounging.
So during your upcoming vacation, make sure to visit our river. It’s an experience you do not want to miss.
