While the island is 10 miles from tip to tip, much of it remains untouched with the salt water marshes, tidal creeks and maritime forests. There are a host of activities to experience the natural beauty of the island, whether on your own or with one of the Resort’s naturalists.

The Park is the only beach on the island that is open to the public and allow visitors to enjoy a pristine beach with chair and umbrella rentals and even a snack bar. Akers and Ellis Kiawah Island Real Estate offer numerous homes for sale and poperties for rent on Kiawah Island and nearby Seabrook Island.

Angel Oak Park on Johns Island South Carolina

Apr 14

Posted by admin in Johns Island SC News | No Comments

Johns Island SC, towering over 65 feet high, the Angel Oak has shaded John’s Island, South Carolina, for over 1400 years, and would have sprouted 1000 years before Columbus’ arrival in the New World. Recorded history traces the ownership of the live oak and surrounding land, back to the year 1717 when Abraham Waight received it as part of a small land grant. The tree stayed in the Waight family for four generations, and was part of a Marriage Settlement to Justus Angel and Martha Waight Tucker Angel.

The Angel Oak is thought to be one of the oldest living things east of the Mississippi River. Live oaks generally grow out and not up, but the Angel Oak has had plenty of time to do both, standing 65 ft high, has a diameter of spread reaching 160 feet, a circumference of nearly 25 feet and with a canopy providing 17,000 square feet of shade. Its limbs, the size of tree trunks themselves, are so large and heavy that some of them rest on the ground (some even drop underground for a few feet and then come back up), a feature common to only the very oldest live oaks. The City of Charleston now owns Angel Oak. There is no charge to view the tree and is a must see when visiting Charleston, South Carolina. Angel Oak Park is open 9-5 daily.
