Shopping

You’d expect to find stores with beach chairs, umbrellas and groceries on Kiawah Island. But marble and granite? 19th- and 20th-century masterworks? In recent years, shopping opportunities in the Kiawah area have ballooned as never before. You’ll find a modern take on an old-fashioned soda shop, European antiques, and a wardrobe of fashion boutiques, each more enticing than the last. You’ll find butchers, bakers, and candleholder makers, not to mention the offices of bankers, CPAs, lawyers, builders, home service experts, decorators, architects, doctors, dentists and engineers – and of course the offices of Kiawah Island Real Estate to help make your stay here part of your family’s regular lifestyle!

You can have anything from your bike to your golf clubs expertly repaired. Buy a birthday cake made by a pastry chef. Step into a salon and get a new up-do for a wedding. Not only can you buy a piece of original art or a print to remind you of Kiawah, you can have it framed, and shipped home without leaving the Island. If you still think you need to drive to Charleston to find a unique piece of pottery, antique chest or carpet, wildlife sculpture, jewelry, or designer clothing, think again. With new stores galore, Kiawah and Freshfields are the area’s new shopping mecca.
