Edisto Beach State Park Visitors Guide
Situated on the remote Edisto Island outside of
Charleston,
the Edisto Beach State Park is an enticing get away, whether
if just for an afternoon, a day or for several days, there
is much to be enjoyed. This scenic park has campgrounds
and rental cabins so you can take your time meandering through
the live oak forest and sea marsh. There is a four mile nature
trail bordered with towering palmetto trees where you may
see white-tailed deer, osprey, or alligators, and possibly
catch a glimpse of the evasive bobcats, or you may choose
to go surf and marsh fishing for flounder, whiting, spot
tail and other species.
On
the park's western side you will find boating and an ample
beaches where you can go beach combing. There are picnic pavilions
as well as a playground.
For indoor learning fun you can visit the Edisto Interpretive
Center where you will find interactive displays, a touch
tank and interpretive programs that encourage the wise use
of the region's resources.
