Encompassing more than 4,600 acres on Edisto Island, the Botany Bay Heritage Preserve/Wildlife Management Area is a unique heritage and wildlife preserve that allows visitors to get a glimpse of how the South Carolina coast would have looked during the time of the original settlers.
Much of the property consists of untouched forest and seashore, but the preserve is also home to several historic structures, including a plantation house, a gardener's shed, and an icehouse.
A 6.5-mile driving route makes it easy to explore the property by car, but there are also plenty of excellent hiking trails for visitors who want to stretch their legs.
