As part of South Carolina’s fabled Lowcountry, the Island is a nature enthusiast’s paradise of lush maritime forests and winding saltwater marshes where local flora and fauna thrive…and visitors feel like they’re a world away.

Strolling down the sun-filled beach and bike riding on the hard-packed sand are popular activity among many visitors. Other activities on Kiawah’s beach include surfing, kayaking, shelling, fishing, and plenty of wildlife viewing. If you’re lucky, you will catch a glimpse of dolphins playing in the gently surf. From mid-May until early August, Loggerhead turtles lay their eggs in the soft sand of the dunes.
