Awendaw, SC ~ Paradise Island on the northern shore of the Wando River across from Park West, Carolina Park, and Pepper Plantation is in unincorporated Charleston County with an Awendaw zip code. To distinguish themselves from the existing residents on the east end of the island, developers decided to call the west end of the island “Big Paradise Island” even though there is no physical separation. Paradise Island (the former eastern end) consists of a single gravel road while Big Paradise has stricter covenants, paved streets, curbs, and public waste and water from Mount Pleasant Waterworks. Paradise Island is only a 15-minute drive from Mount Pleasant through the Town of Awendaw. Restaurants, Costco, Grocery, Trader Joes (coming soon), Library, Hospital, Retail shops and the Beaches are nearby.

Awendaw was settled in 1696 as Wappetaw by settlers from Salem, Massachusetts, who had left after the Salem Witch Trials. It was named by the Seewee Native American or “Sewee” tribe and is home to an oyster shell mound created by the Seewee Tribe. It is the northern most shell ring in a group that stretches south to the tip of Florida. Most of the mound is still intact. The town was heavily damaged by Hurricane Hugo in September 1989, but did not receive as significant damage in 2004 when Hurricane Gaston made landfall in the region.
