South Carolina Highway 700 (SC 700) is a state highway in the U.S. state of South Carolina. Known for most of its length as Maybank Highway, the state highway runs 20.38 miles (32.80 km) from a dead end in Rockville east to U.S. Highway 17 (US 17) in Charleston. SC 700 connects Charleston with James Island, Johns Island, and Wadmalaw Island in southwestern Charleston County.
SC 700 begins at a dead end in the town of Rockville on Wadmalaw Island. The terminus is on the north side of Bohicket Creek, which separates Wadmalaw Island from Seabrook Island, a short distance east of Bohicket Creek's mouth on the North Edisto River. The state highway heads northeast as Maybank Highway, a two-lane road that passes by the Charleston Tea Plantation, the only working tea plantation in the United States, and near the Firefly Distillery, which is on Bear Bluff Road on the portion of the island north of Leadenwah Creek. SR 700 crosses Church Creek onto Johns Island, enters an outlying section of the city of Charleston, and arrives at the main crossroads of the island near the site of the venerable Angel Oak. Main Road heads north from the junction through the northern part of the island before crossing the Stono River on the John F. Limehouse Memorial Bridge to meet US 17 between Rantowles and Charleston. Bohicket Road heads south toward Seabrook Island and Kiawah Island. SC 700 continues east and near the eastern end of the island intersects River Road, which leads south to Charleston Executive Airport.
