Johns island
About Johns Island
Rapidly expanding Johns Island is part of Charleston County and is located southwest of the Charleston, SC peninsula. Originally a farming community, Johns island’s history dates back centuries as the site of several prominent plantations, producing much of the area’s rice, indigo, and cotton exports. The island’s close proximity to Downtown Charleston and beautiful scenic property make it a prime location. It is separated from the mainland by the tidal Stono River, which forms part of the Intracoastal Waterway. It is truly a mix of rural living and bustling communities. It is also the fourth-largest island on the east coast of the US, surpassed only by Long Island, Mount Desert Island, and Martha's Vineyard. Johns Island is viewed as the gateway to the resort/residential barrier islands of Kiawah and Seabrook.
