Kiawah Island continues to shine as a premier coastal destination, with Beachwalker Park once again earning national recognition. The picturesque beach has been named the 5th best beach in the United States by the renowned coastal authority “Dr. Beach” — also known as Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman.
Each year, Dr. Leatherman, Director of the Laboratory for Coastal Research at Florida International University, releases his highly anticipated list of America’s Best Beaches, using 50 criteria ranging from water quality to environmental management and scenic beauty. Beachwalker Park’s pristine shoreline, unspoiled natural surroundings, and family-friendly atmosphere helped secure its spot among the elite.
Topping the list this year is Duke Kahanamoku Beach in Oahu, Hawaii, followed by Coopers Beach in Southampton, New York. With more than two decades of beach-ranking expertise, Dr. Beach’s list is considered one of the most trusted and respected in the travel and tourism world.
Beachwalker Park’s consistent ranking as one of the country’s top beaches is a testament to Kiawah Island’s commitment to preserving its coastal beauty and providing a serene escape for beachgoers.
