Kiawah Island is a beachfront sanctuary less than four hours from Charlotte BY MICHELLE BOUDIN
KIAWAH ISLAND is one of several resort spots along the South Carolina coast where people go to play golf—including the best professional players in the world, who competed in the 2021 PGA Championship in May. Kiawah is so attractive to course developers, resort owners, and golfers because of amenities that nature provides free of charge: 10 miles of white sand beaches, live oaks, and marshes filled with ospreys, egrets, and alligators. It’s a 45-minute drive down the coast from Charleston’s boutiques and restaurants and less than four hours from Charlotte. Golf is the center of Kiawah’s life and economy, but you don’t have to be a scratch player to enjoy yourself here.
