Johns Island is settled within the borders of Indian River Shores, a picturesque and beautiful town. The breathtaking scenery, carefully crafted architecture, wonderful cuisine, create a culture all of its own. A small shopping village also dons the island and adds much rustic charm.

Angel Oak also calls John's Island her home. This 1400 year old Southern live oak tree is a spectacular site to behold. It stands approximately 65 feet high and is about 26 feet in circumference. To stand beneath the shade of this living legacy is a pleasure.

Most of the island's citizens would prefer to keep it in its rural environment. The well-kept secret was leaked out though and many people are clamoring to be a part of this privilidged community. With its 2 new bridges and the completion of I-526, it is now in close driving distance of downtown Charleston. This is predicted to continue to add to the appeal of the island. Although the island is changing, the vision is to keep it as natural as possible. Fortunately this calls for much of Johns Island to remain unspoiled. If you are lucky enough to be a part of this old-fashioned community, consider yourself fortunate!
