October 03, 2023
While Kiawah Island is renowned for its natural beauty, top-tier golf courses, and thriving wildlife throughout the year, the island takes on a distinct charm during the fall season.

Get Active
Autumn is the perfect time to grab the family and play a game of tennis at the Roy Barth Tennis Center, or explore one of Kiawah’s stunning bike trails.
Although Kiawah Island is less than 14 square miles in size, this community boasts five public golf courses and two private courses. And as an Owner at Timbers Kiawah, you can play each of the five public legendary courses.
Go on a Outdoor Adventure
While the water may be a bit too cold for swimming, the fall weather is just right for paddling through Kiawah Island’s Lowcountry waterways and exploring its diverse ecosystem, all without the summer crowds.
Catch the tail end of South Carolina’s sea turtle nesting season and witness the fascinating phenomenon of dolphin strand feeding at Captain Sam’s Inlet. Kiawah Island also offers year-round guided nature programs, boat rentals, and fishing excursions suitable for all ages, ensuring there’s always a chance to connect with the island’s natural wonders.
Explore Charleston for the Day
