Things To Do

Golf

Kiawah is renowned for its golf courses, which have hosted PGA championships. The Kiawah Island Golf Resorts offers five public golf courses: Ocean Course, Turtle Point, Cougar Point, Osprey Point, and Oak Point, of which Ocean Course is the toughest and most beautiful. Be sure to reserve your tee-time ahead of time!

Biking

Biking is one of our favorite activities in Kiawah. There are 30 miles of paved bike trails and 10 miles of flat beach on the island. If you are staying at The Sanctuary, you can rent bikes through the hotel. If you are renting a home or villa, rental bikes can be delivered to your location: Kiawah Island Golf Resort kiawahresort.com/recreation/bike-rentals/ Island Bike and Surf Shop islandbikeandsurf.com

Tennis

Kiawah is a great destination for tennis. Pickleball is available too. Everyone is welcome to reserve courts at the Roy Barth Tennis Center!

Freshfields Village

Super cute downtown area with a grocery store, boutique shops, and restaurants.

Restaurants

Freshfields Village

Freshfields Village has many casual lunch and dinner options. For your morning coffee, there is the Nest Market at Night Heron Park, JavaJava and Starbucks (in Harris Teeter grocery store) in Freshfields Village, and Periwinkle Kitchen on Betsy Kerrison Parkway just off the entrance to the island.

The Ryder Cup Bar

Ryder Cup Bar at the Ocean Course clubhouse is a great place to grab a drink or light snack and soak in the gorgeous views on the veranda or back green.
