Residents of Awendaw appreciate and honor the town’s commitment to guarding against overgrowth and overdevelopment. In fact, what makes Awendaw so attractive to homebuyers is its quiet coastal terrain and loyal sense of community. For recreation, residents enjoy biking through the Francis Marion National Forest, collecting crabs from set traps in the Intracoastal Waterway, fishing in the salt water tidal creeks, boating or paddleboarding through the marshes, and hiking to the Oyster Shell Mound, an ancient site created by the Seewee Indians and now listed on the National Register of Historical Sites. On Wednesday evenings, locals flock to the Awendaw Green Barn Jam, a hip outdoor party at the Seewee Outpost that features live bluegrass music, BBQ and other food items, and handmade crafts, jewelry, and artwork.

As part of the Gullah / Geeche Cultural Heritage Corridor and the East Coast Greenway, the town of Awendaw continues to find new ways to intrinsically showcase its beauty and history to visitors. Not surprisingly, these visitors often become permanent residents. Moreover, the explosive growth of North Mt. Pleasant has directly impacted Awendaw. Previously, children in Awendaw attended low-performing schools; however, with recent redistricting, children now attend Mt. Pleasant’s Charles Pinckney Elementary School, Cario Middle School, and Wando High School, all of which are A-rated schools with numerous accolades in both academics and athletics. Awendaw is the perfect choice for homebuyers who desire the tranquil countryside, unobtrusive waterways, and close proximity to a bustling city.
