Kiawah Island, South Carolina
Located on the Atlantic Ocean only 21 miles from historic Charleston, Kiawah

Island has been developed into one of America’s finest resorts while preserving the environmental richness of its barrier island setting. Kiawah’s natural beauty and bountiful wildlife have been carefully preserved amid golf courses referred to as the “Pebble Beach of the East Coast” and a #1 U.S. Tennis Resort as ranked by Tennis Magazine. Ten miles of broad, sparkling beach ranked the Second Most Romantic Beach in America invite you to explore all the opportunities that Kiawah offers for recreation, education and renewal.

During free time, you and your family can enjoy the unspoiled beach, large, cool swimming pools or the spa with therapeutic massage, saunas and hot tubs. Golfers will enjoy the challenge of Kiawah’s five championship golf courses. Imagine the thrill of testing your skills on the course that hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup and the 1997 and 2003 World Cup of Golf, or walking the course that was the setting for the movie, Bagger Vance. Avid tennis players can easily find a game or a lesson at the two nationally known tennis centers.

Parents and kids appreciate well-organized children’s and teen recreation programs, and evening child activities are available so parents can enjoy a quiet evening together at one of the resort’s restaurants. In addition, the shops and culture of the historical city of Charleston are nearby for you and your family to investigate and enjoy.
