The master-planned community was established by 5 partners interested in creating a quiet family retreat near historic Charleston. Martins Point's focus is its waterfront, with more than 3 miles of shoreline along the marshes of Wadmalaw Sound. It has also been a working farm for over 100 years, with 1000 acres of farmland and woodlands. The neighborhood currently provides a 35-acre wildlife refuge and lake supporting an abundance of birds and woodland fauna and flora. Two 5-acre islands are also approachable by boat or canoe for family picnics and exploration. A community boat landing is deep water at all times. It provides access to the Intracoastal and all of the Southeast seaboard's waterways. There are also walking trails and a saltwater pond for fishing, shrimping, or crabbing. The Wadmalaw Island Land Plan adopted by Charleston County ensures that the island will retain its Lowcountry character.
