Ecology
Callawassie Island is one of hundreds of sea islands scattered along the Carolina coast, allowing our island to encapsulate everything you think of when you think of the Lowcountry. Surrounded by tidal creeks and rivers, shaded by live oaks draped with Spanish moss, our environment is unique, and our residents take pride in celebrating and protecting it. Certified by the National Wildlife Federation, in 2007, Callawassie Island was the first community recognized as a Wildlife Habitat in the state of South Carolina. Our golf course also acquired the status of a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 2017.
