How do people commute from Awendaw to Charleston?

Moving around within Awendaw itself takes only a few minutes for most trips, since it is a small, spread-out rural community along Highway 17 rather than a dense town with internal traffic. The commute that actually matters for most residents runs along Highway 17 toward Mount Pleasant and Charleston to the south, and that drive can take meaningfully longer during peak season near the coast. Because Awendaw is more remote than towns closer to the city, that tradeoff between space and commute time is worth weighing before buying.
