Things to do in Kiawah Island

Kiawah Island is a barrier island south of Charleston known for its natural beauty and world-class golf. Most of the island is a private residential community, with the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, the Sanctuary hotel and a collection of courses designed by some of golf’s most famous architects. The Pete Dye-designed Ocean Course has hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup and two PGA Championships, and the island’s ten miles of beach, maritime forest and marshes are home to dolphins, bobcats and loggerhead turtles. Second homes, resort hospitality and golf are the island’s economy.
