Vanderhorst Plantation
Watch the sunset from Kiawah Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Kiawah is a golf-centered resort island with lots of palmettos, pine trees, and waterbirds. The dolphins practice "strand feeding" here, which is the act of herding the fish up on the beach along with a wave and wriggling up on the sand to retrieve them. #UStravel #travel #naturelovers #beach #sunset #Kiawah #SouthCarolina #RVlife #earthporn #goldenhour #camping #glamping #wanderlust #beachbound www.RVLuckyOrWhat.com
