Kiawah Island is renowned for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and vast salt marshes, Kiawah is a mix of lush maritime forests, brackish water ponds, and picturesque dunes. Exploring this varied habitat gives you the opportunity to observe the tremendous variety of flora and fauna present on this pristine barrier island.

During your stay on Kiawah, our Naturalist staff will open your eyes to the nature of Kiawah. Opening daily at 8:30am, the Nature Center is located in Night Heron Park adjacent to the pool and the Night Heron Pavilion. It is the heart of the Resort’s Nature Program and is a great first stop to get information on recreation activities and recent nature sightings.
