Top Ten Beach: Kiawah Island

Kiawah Island’s very own Beachwalker Park has achieved the ranking of #10 in Top 10 beaches in the United States. This is a pretty darn good achievement given the stiff competition (Hawaii included).

Every year this ranking system is established by Florida University’s very own Dr. Beach or Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman. Professor Leatherman of Florida International University established his ranking system of beaches upon several categories evaluating the beach and marine life affected by biological, physical, and human factors. His research and rankings are a culmination of studying over 650 beaches throughout America. His study has received mention on the NBC Today Show.
