Seabrook is just past Kiawah at the end of Betsy Kerrison Parkway, and it's the quieter of the two. Seabrook Island Road runs the length of it. Bohicket Marina sits outside the gate and catches most of the dinner and charter traffic, and the equestrian center is one of the few places in the area that lets you ride a horse on the beach.
The practical problem
Seabrook is a long way from a grocery run. Guests who arrive without a car discover this the first evening, and the club amenities are spread out enough that walking everywhere isn't a plan. North Beach and Pelican Beach are both short drives once you're inside the gate.
That's the reason this trip needs a car more than a downtown stay does.
What suits the week
Long stays and low mileage, mostly. The Fiat 500X is cheap to run and easy to park at the marina. The Range Rover is the pick when there are bikes, beach gear, or five people and their luggage.
The drive
About 45 minutes from the lot at 1471 Folly Road: out Maybank Highway, across Johns Island on Bohicket, then Betsy Kerrison. Seabrook and Kiawah share that approach, so guests at either one run the same route.
