Awendaw is a small town located on the Atlantic coast in central South Carolina. As of the 2000 census, the population was 1,195 residents. Awendaw is situated within Charleston County. The area that became the town of Awendaw was named by the Seewee (or Sewee) Native American tribe. It's home to an oyster shell mound that was created by the tribe and most of the mound is still intact today. Part of it was destroyed to construct roads and homes. The oyster shell mound is sometimes referred to as "The Spanish Fort." Awendaw is mainly a fishing village and it received significant damage during Hurricane Hugo in September of 1989. Luckily, it escaped heavy damage from Hurricane Gaston in 2004. Crabbing is the main resource of the town of Awendaw, along with tourism.The main draw to the town is the annual Blue Crab Festival. Nearby cities to Awendaw include Charleston, Folly Beach, and Bonneau. Folly Beach is a barrier island and is considered one of the best places on the east coast for surfing. Three county parks are located on the island, and fishing is popular from the Folly Fishing Pier. The town of Bonneau is a quiet community that is surrounded by the Francis Marion National Forest and includes the Dennis Wildlife Center and Bayless Hatchery.
