Attractions
John's Island features shopping, natural attractions, fishing, golf and pristine white sandy beaches. It is also located just ten minutes outside of the gorgeous, antebellum city of Charleston, South Carolina. Being such a close neighbor to Charleston, the island is loaded with its own rich history. From pre-American Indians through to the present day, John's Island has played a role in the history of the thriving coast of South Carolina.
A major attraction, the island is home to the magnificent Angel Oak tree, estimated to be around 1,500 years old. The Angel Oak is a must see, and is one of many parks on the island.
John's Island is also a neighbor to the barrier islands of Kiawah and Seabrook. From first-class day spas to some of the finest international boutique shopping locations in the south, John's Island sits literally between the charming genteel of downtown Charleston and the tailored tastes of barrier island world-class destination resorts.
