Edisto Island  is one of South Carolina's Sea Islands, located about 42 miles from Charleston. Edisto Island was inhabited by the native Edisto people for centuries before white plantation owners started using it in the 1700s for timber, hunting, and growing indigo, rice, and cotton. Most of the labor was done by African slaves. Since the 20th century, the island has been developed as a resort and tourist destination, while there are still some private plantations. The island is the location of Edisto Beach, the Wyndham Ocean Ridge resort, and Edisto Island State Park. The park has a playground, an education center, a ranger station, and wonderful campsites on the beachfront with a view of the ocean.
