Kiawah Island is a vacation destination unlike any other. Explore winding tidal creeks and serene lagoons by kayak or paddleboard, or take a beach cruiser along over 30 miles of paved bike paths that wind through lush maritime forests, past tranquil lagoons, and under a canopy of ancient live oaks draped in Spanish moss. You’ll spot snowy egrets, great blue herons, white-tailed deer, and maybe even an alligator basking along the banks. Spend your days walking the wide, uncrowded beaches, birdwatching along the Kiawah River, or teeing off at one of five championship golf courses, including the famed Ocean Course, where dramatic ocean views meet world-class fairways. Families can enjoy nature programs and live music at Night Heron Park, or spend the afternoon browsing the boutiques and dining al fresco at Freshfields Village, a lively hub just outside the island’s main gate. At the end of the day, gather on your screened porch or a boardwalk bench to watch the sun slip behind the marsh. Whether you're savoring local seafood at a waterfront restaurant, picking up picnic favorites from the village market, or simply enjoying the quiet rustle of the sea breeze through the palmettos, every moment on Kiawah Island feels effortlessly special.
