About Paradise Island
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.
