Guidebook for Edisto Island
Parks & Nature
One of my favorite places - a lovely old plantation area to drive around, but the best is the 1/2 mile walk to the beach there. It is a surreal scene of tied and deadwood and lots of shells. Lovely at any time of the year. And FREE!

The interpretive center is worth a visit, down off 174. The park itself is on the left when you arrive at the beach front. Long beaches for walking. Check out when and join them for a "turtle walk" to look for new loggerhead turtle nests and, if you're lucky, a glimpse at some newly hatched turtles making their way to the surf.

Driving by, you might think this is a cheesy place with a couple snakes. It actually is a fairly extensive garden with all sorts of reptiles, with interesting exhibits and shows. Definitely worth spending 2-3 hours during your Edisto visit.

This store has the essentials needed for groceries, but it gets pretty crowded, especially on Fri-Sun during peak season. And it's a bit pricier, so you're best to stock up on groceries on your way in, either in Ravenel or in Walterboro, depending on your direction in.

Food Scene
Tasty little coffee shop - check the hours since they aren't open daily, but worth the visit for good coffee and a very interesting owner. Also some great deserts and light dishes.

The BEST key lime pies on the planet. Fun place about 6 miles inland from the beach - you passed it on your way here on 174. Lots of locally grown produce and products. I also like their home-prepared seafood casseroles.
