Mix and Match to Craft Your Perfect Holiday Weekend
There’s a lot going on this weekend, but fortunately the long weekend means you have more time to enjoy it! Mix and match the events and locations below to craft your perfect holiday weekend.
AT THE SANDCASTLE
Long weekends mean extra time spent by the pool! Come out to the Sandcastle this Memorial Day weekend for family fun and refreshments from Crystal Coast at the Sandcastle Grille and the Bar.
Remember: all members and guests must check in at the front desk and receive a wristband before heading out to the pools. Wristbands are issued daily to Sandcastle patrons above the age of three. The beach gate (8A) and pool gate will both be open for re-entry only with your wristband.
AT THE BEACH
Don’t skip the sand this weekend! If you’re headed to the beach, KICA has easy access to a beach comfort station located at boardwalk 8B (to the left of the Sandcastle) throughout the weekend.
If you have your Sandcastle wristband, you can also use the beach gate at boardwalk 8A and re-enter when you need a snack or break at the convenient pool restrooms.
Remember these tips to make your beach experience great for you, your furry friends, and Kiawah’s wildlife.
AT THE KIAWAH ISLAND GOLF RESORT
From yoga on the beach to a riverside oyster roast, you don’t need to travel far (or at all!) to take advantage of great events at the resort.
See everything that’s happening.
