About Carolina
Bay
Carolina Bay, located between West Ashley and Johns Island, is a suburban and residential Charleston neighborhood with a marsh-edge setting and a network of ponds. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bees Ferry Road and Savannah Highway corridor, where grocery plazas, local eateries, and everyday errands create a steady, lived-in rhythm. Lowcountry-style subdivisions with porches and garages sit along curving streets, with sidewalks and pocket greens shaping the streetscape. Nearby waterways and tidal creeks frame the landscape with long, flat horizons. The West Ashley Greenway adds a linear outdoor spine for walking and biking. Community pillars include Low Tide Brewing, The Pour House, and Charleston Tea Garden.
