Kiawah Island

Kiawah Island, a South Carolina island just a few miles south of historic Charleston, is a golfer's paradise. It is one of the most beautiful barrier islands off the coast of South Carolina and is home to more than a decade's worth of sandy beaches and five championship golf courses.

You can take a kayak or stand-up paddle boat tour of the island's many waterways. You also can rent a bike and explore the island on two wheels. You can charter a fishing boat or take a motorboat tour of the coast if you'd instead go fishing. Tennis (as well as lessons) is available on the island, as are four spas and a wide variety of mouthwatering dining options.
