Charleston's Kiawah Island has been consistently ranked as one of the nation's top beaches. Whether you're visiting for a day or on vacation for a week, you'll waste no time finding your place in the sun on these pristine sands or in the inviting surf. The beach stretches out nearly 10 miles, and within the area you'll also find golf courses and historic plantations, among other outdoor attractions. But no matter how many great things there are to see, you'll find yourself returning to Kiawah Island's unforgettable beaches again and again.
If you feel like having a few drinks with some friends but don't want to get too dressed up, head to Moe's Crosstown Tavern for a causally cool evening of Charleston nightlife. Moe's is everything a neighborhood watering hole should be, featuring 20 choices of ice cold beer, a great extended happy hour and a menu full of tasty items that features their excellent wings and gourmet burgers. Come in for a while, and you'll find that Moe's is one of those special places where everybody will know your name before too long.
If the heat is getting to be too much for you, cool off in style at Charleston's Splash Zone. This water attraction features both tube-style and open, 200-foot slides while also providing a children's Caribbean play area with slides, wheels and sprays that are more suited to the park's younger visitors. If you prefer to just lounge and enjoy the scenery, float along the 500-foot lazy river which offers some unexpected fun with sprays and a big waterfall along the wet and wild route.
