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 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).

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.
