Johns Island

 Johns Island is the second largest sea-island on the east coast. Situated west of James Island, Johns Island is bordered by the Stono River, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. The maritime forest vegetation and beautiful live oaks give the island a true Lowcountry feel.

New real estate developments located along Maybank Highway offer affordable housing alternatives. A growing number of developers are pursuing major projects along parts of its waterfront, making Johns Island an up-and-coming area in which to live.

A must-see on the island is the Angel Oak, a live oak tree off of Bohicket Road, which has a height of 65 feet and is estimated to be more than 1,400 years old. Its largest limb has a circumference of 11.25 feet and a length of 89 feet! It is the oldest living tree east of the Mississippi River.
