Wadmalaw Island is located southwest of Johns Island and is pretty much encircled by it. It is bordered by Church Creek, Bohicket Creek, and the North Edisto River. The island is connected to the mainland by a bridge over Church Creek. The island, which is about 10 miles long and 6 miles wide, has a population of 2,611. From 1960 until 1987, Wadmalaw Island was the location of the Lipton Tea Company’s experimental tea farm. While it has changed hands a few times, the tea farm still exists on the island and is the only one of its kind in the country.
