Edisto Island is one of the final remaining unspoiled beach communities in the United States, easily accessible via a 40-minute drive from the city of Charleston. The lovely Sea Islands region serves as a more relaxed, picturesque alternative to many of the region's more heavily-developed tourist islands, including renowned Hilton Head Island.

Major attractions include the 4,600-acre Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve, which preserves a number of National Register of Historic Places-listed buildings connected to 18th and 19th-century era plantations, and the 14-mile Edisto Island National Scenic Byway. A top regional golf course is also located on the island, along with the unique Edisto Island Serpentarium, which showcases exhibits related to the region's native wildlife. Visitors can enjoy eco-touring opportunities, bike trails, and fishing charter excursions, along with delightful restaurants and shops throughout the island's business district.
