James Island, South Carolina
Living on James Island
James Island, one of the most coveted residential areas in Charleston, can be reached simply by crossing the Ashley River from downtown.
Surrounded by deep water, the island offers waterfront homes with deep-water docks and easy access to nearby beaches — Folly Beach the most popular among them. James Island is covered by well-established, family-friendly neighborhoods adorned with moss-draped live oaks, lending them a charming, scenic appeal. The island is also home to a number of local restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, and the James Island County Park.
James Island Yacht Club members can take part in an annual sailing regatta, a fishing tournament, or youth sailing lessons. Despite offering all of these amenities, James Island has managed to retain its rural feel.
