Mount Pleasant Magazine 6.3

hose of us who live in

Mount Pleasant are fortunate to be

surrounded by other coastal communi-

ties. It’s easy to have the larger ones –

Myrtle Beach, Beaufort – on the radar,

but what about our smaller neighbors

to the north: namely Awendaw and

McClellanville? Spring and summer are the perfect months

to take a leisurely afternoon and

turn it into a fun-filled adventure

right up Highway 17. And don’t be deceived by these sleepy

towns: Both Awendaw and McClellanville offer distinctive

attractions, local history and interesting tales to share with

interested visitors.

AWENDAW

Our closest neighbor to Mount Pleasant – and down-

right cozy with North Mount Pleasant residents – is

Awendaw, a haven for nature lovers and for those who crave

an education about the coast of South Carolina. While
