Fall Weather Expectations
Fall on Kiawah Island is a relaxing time of year when visitors will find far fewer crowds to contend with than they would in the summertime. This means there’s plenty of room and reason to take advantage of the amazing weather and it’s early enough in the season that ocean temperatures remain inviting as well. While there’s truly no one best time of year to visit this incredible vacation destination, fall is tough to top. Temperatures in this season tend to make their way into the low 70s by midday with evening lows dip down into the 60s. Packing in layers is always a good idea as fall sits within the parameters of hurricane season and can see fluctuating weather patterns as the season goes on.
Seasonal Events to Add to Your List
If you’re looking for fun fall events to add to your itinerary, make sure your Kiawah Island getaway includes participating in or cheering on the athletes in the annual Kiawah Island Triathlon. This fan-favorite fall competition is not for the faint of heart, requiring athletes to complete a .7-mile swim, a 25-mile bike ride, and a 5.5-mile run to reach the finish line. The triathlon is a USAT-sanctioned intermediate-distance event that kicks off at Night Heron Park. It’s a thrilling race to watch and a great challenge for athletes looking for the next race to conquer. Looking for more adrenaline? The annual Kiawah Island Marathon happens the 2nd Saturday of December. Take your pick of either the 26.2-mile or 13.1-mile run!
Fall on Kiawah Island also marks the time of year when the annual Dogtoberfest comes around. This meaningful and fun event is put on by a team of local dog rescue organizations to raise funds for their Lowcountry cause. Dogtoberfest is hosted in October at Freshfields Village and includes delicious beverages, mouthwatering fare to enjoy, and a dog costume contest that’s as adorable as it is entertaining! If you have a dog of your own that you’re traveling with, you can pick up some great puppy apparel at this event with proceeds going toward a great cause.
Fun Activities to Try When You’re Here This Time of Year
With mild temperatures on your side in the fall, your Kiawah Island trip can include plenty of time outdoors. Be sure to enjoy the spacious and crowd-free beaches or feel free to book a fishing charter and get out on the waves to see what’s biting. Fall is a fantastic time of year to rent a bike and explore the trails in good company while a sailing tour might be the highlight of your seasonal stay when you want to take in the landscapes leisurely from the water.
