KIAWAH ISLAND, SC – For the second year in a row, Dr. Stephen P. Leatherman, aka Dr. Beach (www.drbeach.org), named Kiawah Island one of the top-10 beaches in America. Leatherman is the Director of Florida International University’s Laboratory for Coastal Research and has selected the annual Top 10 Beaches since 1991. Fifty criteria are used to evaluate beaches, which include water and sand quality as well as safety, facilities and environmental management.
This award is just the latest in a long list of accolades recently received by Kiawah Island and Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Just last week, for the third time in four years, the leading on-line tennis travel website, TennisResortsOnline.com, named Kiawah Island Golf Resort as the No. 1 tennis resort in the world. This ranking is based on Kiawah’s overall tennis program including instruction, teaching staff, facilities, as well as other resort facilities such as lodging, cuisine, service and value. Tennis magazine ranks it as the No. 4 tennis resort in the U.S.
