We were able to upgrade to a beach side campsite due to a cancellation. The other campground looked nice but without another vehicle or bikes it was way too far from the beach. Our site was amazing. We could hear the roar of the waves just over the dunes. Dogs need to stay on a leash but are welcome. The beach is loaded with shells and another camper found something that appears to be a mastodon molar. Restrooms are close and clean. It was a half mile to a mile to several restaurants, but nice options. The Bi-Lo is under construction but will soon reopen. There is no laundry on the Island. Dump station is out on Rt 174. Great place for a few days, but bring bug spray.

A gallery of American crafts.

I just stood and marveled at the works of several of their artists. Truly impressive and innovative pieces. More than I expected for a fairly small town. And the person on staff was helpful about suggestions of other places to visit in the area. I did not leave empty handed and love the mug I bought.... Although I'm likely to use it as a vase rather than a mug.

Visited Botany Bay on Sunday. Free. Self-guided driving tour of the preserve with printed pamphlet explaining different points of interest. Entire area is stunningly beautiful; marshes, trees, beach! One of the places you can visit is the beach. About 1/2 mile from beach parking lot to the beach. 'Due to natural beach erosion the coastal forest is slowly being swallowed by the Atlantic Ocean'. This creates an absolutely surreal experience. We have never seen anything like it. Trees sticking up out of the water. Make sure you go at low tide. I understand beach is not walk able at high tide. A gabillion sea shells which you are not allowed to take, some interwoven in tree branches. About 5 miles from Edisto Beach. We drove down from Charleston and cant believe we found this gem. A must see.

We LOVE stopping at Kings Farm Market on our way into AND out of Edisto Island. It’s a small farmer’s market but they will have something you’ll want to enjoy on the Island during your stay AND something you’ll want to take home to share a little island flavor. They have pies, cakes, other sweet treats and savory tomato pies and casseroles-squash, broccoli, and seafood-Omigoodness so delicious! Oh and shrimp and pasta salad and I could just go on but I will wrap it up by recommending a stop both on your way IN and OUT of the Island it’s just a treat to have some old fashioned goodies there and when you get home.

Took a sunset cruise with Captain Jim Moose and watched a beautiful sunset while on the water and learned Edisto history from Captain Moose. It was lovely! and you almost always spot dolphins on your cruse!
