Edisto Beach SC


It was worth the 60 Mile drive east from I-95 to the tiny coastal island town of Edisto. As we passed endless low-lying grassy areas, scrubby undergrowth and seemed to become more and more isolated we began to wonder if we should turn around and continue north to Charleston.
Our site for the period of March 25 to April 7th is less than an one minute walk to a beach that stretches out of sight in both directions. The walk would be shorter except we have to skirt around the Loggerhead turtle nesting area.

The picture was taken from the back of our RV The turtle nesting area is between the fence and the beach.
We have a 180 degree view of the Atlantic Ocean from the windows of our RV. We like to experience places that are off the beaten path. In the island of Edisto we have found a gem. This area is isolated enough that only fishermen, environmentalists and people that do not like tourist areas are here. It is connected enough to have 2 internet cafes.

Pink and George own a fruit and vegetable store with a dirt floor down one country road while Leo sells firewood beside another side-road. Yes, we are enjoying nightly camp fires. The only creature in the RV that do not enjoy the beach and fires is Winston. BORING----with bugs and burrs! He would rather sit on the sofa.
We did buy a beach umbrella to provide shade for Winston but it still did not help his attitude.
