Edisto Beach-Now That's Heaven! Year after year, People come back to Edisto because they enjoy the low-key lifestyle. You know the simple life-no scheules, no ties, no shoes, and no traffic. You can take the children crabbing. Throw out a line and fish or just sit back and enjoy the good life. Edisto is a step back into time. As the weather begins to turn warm and the birds begin singing-its a grea time to be outside on Edisto Beach. The sunshine is calling us to play some golf, walk on the beach, or go for a bike ride. On those springlike days bird watchers find a paradise on Edisto and history lovers go exploring. Edisto is nature's paradise. And nature, as always, is inviting you to Botany Bay, the State Park, to enjoy our bike paths or to take the short drive to Caw Caw Swamp Interpretive Center.
