How to Stay Cool on Kiawah Island this Summer
Hit the Beach
When staying on Kiawah Island, you’re just minutes away from one of the most beautiful beaches in the state. Rent bikes and ride them along the sand, or just pack all your beach gear and set up camp on the shore for an entire day. The sun will be hot while relaxing on the sand, but the ocean is the perfect temperature this time of year to cool you off without being too frigid. Bring along an umbrella to keep some of the rays off you in between dips in the ocean.
Saltwater Pool at Andell Inn
Pools on Kiawah Island can be hard to come by. Many vacation rentals don’t allow access to community pools, but at the Andell Inn, we have a stunning saltwater pool overlooking a small lake. In the afternoons, you don’t even need to leave the comfort of the hotel to experience Kiawah’s beautiful landscape. Lounge by the water and take advantage of our poolside service in the summer before taking a dip in the water. From the pool, you can watch the wildlife that often frequents the lake.
