On The Water
At the Beach
Kiawah shorelines comprise some of the best beaches near Charleston. Kiawah beaches’ rare east-west orientation allows beachgoers to enjoy both gold-tinted sunrise and scarlet-hued sunset from the exact same spot on the sand. Here, families come together for sandcastle building, bike riding, and kite flying. Impromptu volleyball games are initiated throughout the day, and lounge rentals provide spectators a comfortable place to cheer participants on or thrill adventure seekers taking to the sea. Swimming, surfing, and stand-up paddleboarding fill afternoons near the shore while boating, parasailing, and deep-sea fishing unfold across deeper waters.

On the River
Kiawah Island kayak tours reveal the beauty of Lowcountry waterways from an entirely fresh perspective. Afternoons spent gliding across the shimmering surface of the Kiawah River or its circuit of tributaries imbue serenity and a connection with nature unlike any other activity on the Island. Marsh kayaking, too, is a celebration of natural riches, where dolphins strand fishing on the banks always elicit a thrill. Stand up paddleboards elevate the view for athletic nature lovers, attended by a melody of birdsong from the tree canopies bordering the banks. Kiawah fishing and crabbing, too, showcase lush and magnificent landscapes on the Island’s sun-dappled waterways.
