Family Fun at the Kiawah Island Golf ResortLocated just 21 miles from downtown Charleston, and an easy 2-hour flight from New York, Kiawah Island has a natural setting that feels like you’ve been swept back in time. If you love cities, but also want the kids to be active in a pool while you lay on a chaise, you can have it all here. The resort isn’t a single-structure, rather nestled amongst a 10-mile stretch of shoreline, 5 PGA-worthy golf courses, and many different restaurants.
