Discover Sporting Life on Kiawah Island

While Kiawah Island is celebrated for its championship golf courses, the spirit of sport stretches far beyond the fairway. Across the Island’s pristine landscape, Members and guests enjoy an array of activities that embrace the outdoors, encourage movement, and invite exploration, all within a community designed for a balanced, active lifestyle.

From racquet sports and cycling to kayaking through tidal creeks, Kiawah’s natural playground offers something for every interest and season.

On the Water

Kiawah’s winding waterways and peaceful estuaries offer a new perspective on Island life. Outdoor adventures here don’t just provide a physical challenge, they connect participants to the beauty and ecology of the coastal landscape. Kayaking and paddleboarding allow Members to explore meandering creeks, spot wildlife, and enjoy the serene pace of a guided or solo paddle. Club Members can rent equipment or launch from the Boathouse at Cassique, while non-Members can find rentals and guided excursions through the Kiawah Island Golf Resort. 

Nature on Two Wheels

Cycling is one of the best ways to explore Kiawah’s natural beauty. More than 30 miles of paved trails wind through maritime forests, salt marshes, and along the Island’s scenic shoreline. These trails are open to all and perfect for both casual riders and seasoned cyclists. Guided rides are also available, offering insight into the local ecosystem and wildlife along the way. 

Fishing the Lowcountry

Fishing on Kiawah Island delivers both peaceful moments and exhilarating catches. From tranquil creek banks to thrilling deep-sea charters, there’s something for every angler. Club Members can take advantage of inshore and offshore fishing excursions through the Kiawah Island Club’s Boat Club, while non-Members can charter boats out of nearby Bohicket Marina or participate in family-friendly creek fishing sessions organized by naturalists through the Resort. Educational and social events are held throughout the year, making fishing a year-round pastime that’s equal parts adventure and tradition.

Racquet Sports

Tennis has long been a part of Kiawah’s culture, and the Island continues to be a premier destination for players of all levels. The Island offers exceptional facilities for both Club Members and the public. The Roy Barth Tennis Center, open to all, features 22 courts, including clay and hard surfaces, and hosts daily clinics, private lessons, and junior programs year-round. 

For Kiawah Island Club Members, The Sports Pavilion and River Course provide a more private and exclusive racquet experience with a strong Member community, personalized instruction, and seasonal tournaments.
