Review:

Edisto Beach is a perfect getaway for Charleston-area visitors looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, known for its laid-back, traditional Lowcountry lifestyle and atmosphere. The beach town, which is located within South Carolina's Sea Islands region approximately 40 minutes from Charleston's city center, is devoid of chain businesses, luxury hotels, and even street lights, offering peaceful expanses of shoreline that are free of the tourist-trap chaos of many other nearby beaches. Visitors can stretch out on the spacious beachfront with umbrellas or rent kayaks to explore the island's creek and marshland areas within natural preserves such as the 4,630-acre Botany Bay Plantation. Unique regional attractions include the Edisto Island Serpentarium, which showcases a variety of exhibits related to the island's native wildlife. Visitors can also enjoy delicious crab-centric dishes at local restaurants such as Whaley's or peruse a wide variety of antique stores and art galleries for the perfect gift to take home.
