Kiawah Island
Kiawah Island is a private residential and resort community located on the South Carolina coast, famous for its dramatic natural beauty and world-class amenities. The island features ten miles of wide, sandy beaches and pristine maritime forests, providing a sanctuary for diverse wildlife including Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, alligators, and nesting sea turtles. Its careful development ensures that buildings blend seamlessly into the lush landscape and expansive salt marshes. The island is a premier destination for golfers, headlined by the legendary Ocean Course, which has hosted the Ryder Cup and PGA Championships. Beyond the greens, visitors can enjoy over 30 miles of paved bike trails, professional tennis facilities, and kayaking through the scenic tidal creeks. Dining on Kiawah focuses on fresh Atlantic seafood and traditional Lowcountry flavors. The best months to visit are April through June and September through October to enjoy outdoor activities in comfortable weather.
