The place that we stay at annually is on a true dirt road with moss covered ancient oak trees! This is authentic South Carolina beach life at its finest! Truly there are a number of fantastic houses here and also an assortment of those that are eloquently shabby! There is no conglomeration of high rise hotels on this island. There is also just the bare minimum of businesses that one would need to have their needs met. One small Food Lion grocery store and a few restaurants are here and that's about it! Welcome yourselves to the way that it was before commercialism became king!

Since my parents have lived on Edisto Beach for about ten years now, I might be a little biased,…read morebut I love this little beach town! It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of Myrtle Beach or the beaches of Charleston proper, but it's its a great place to come to get away from it all. I like that they've recently added a great coffee shop and more restaurants in the past few years. During season everything is constantly packed, but in the off season you can usually get a table pretty quickly. The beaches are nice and well maintained and parking is generally pretty easy to find. I don't want to gatekeep edisto bc I love it so much, but I also don't want it to lose its quaint little charm!

The sand is so fine but somehow doesn't get all over your body when you leave. The waves and water are great. Keep an eye out for high tide and low tide.

With a permit, you can build a fire in the evenings, so we usually do that. Even driving on the island to get to the beach is an adventure. The homes are beautiful and the roads are shaded and peaceful. Seabrook Island is about a 30-35 minute drive from Charleston but feels like a different world, so for folks looking to "escape", this beach is the perfect place to do so.

So I chose this beach based on the high Yelp ratings that proved once again correct. Once we arrived you pay the meter based on the time you plan to be at the beach. I chose two hours. You enter the parking space number and pay $1. per hour which is very reasonable. Gorgeous beach lots of sand that has not eroded away. If it was warmer we would definitely have stayed longer here. Will be back again soon.

The beach itself is alright all that ocean water yet no waves crash the shore, theyres pleanty sand to spread a towel and plop down fir an afternoon The island is completely overrun with ridiculously rich people living in giant beach houses that cost millions of dollars, i was in one. A friend was havingbit completely wired for dound, remote lighting, security cameras, etcetera. It depresses the hell out of me, honestly, seeing all those phony millionaires strutting around like they own the ocean. ​Right on Middle Street, there's this place called Poe's Tavern, named after Edgar Allan Poe. He was here doing something long before he wrote all those awesome creepy poems. They have these giant burgers named after his stories like "The Pit & Pendulum" or "The Gold-Bug", I get "Tell Tale Heart". The burgers are actually pretty great, thick and juicy with pimento cheese and bacon, even if the whole Poe themed artwork on every wall is not even a little phony. ​Want to tip a few pints? Will then head on over to Dunleavy's Pub. It's a cash only Irish dive bar run by a bunch of diehard Boston Red Sox fans if memory serves me correctly which completely killed me because im a Yankee fan and when you walk inside and there are Red Sox pennants and neon signs plastered all over a beach bar in South Carolina. But they serve ice cold beers in pitchers, and honest pints andb nobody gives a damn if you're still covered in sand from the beach in a Yankees hat. If you're stuck on Sullivans Island and need a solid burger and a cold beer without taking off your sandals or flip flops, those two dpits arevworth a trip even if the sight of all those wealthy beach houses makes you want to throw up.

We detoured, and so glad we did!! 20 minutes from our hotel, it was a PERFECT DAY to hang out on the beach! Parking is a challenge because it's off of a residential neighborhood, and you have to walk a bit, but it's worth it! I wish it wasn't our last day on the island because I wanted to return to wade in that ocean water!! We SHALL RETURN!

It is a 4 mile stretch of beach w limited public access along main road. At the south end is a larger public access w 2 port John's, this access is close to the point good for fishing or seashell picking. It is a short ride to main Hwy that leads to Garden City or Myrtle Beach 30-45 mins depending on traffic if need more action. There are no sidewalks on road but most people are good about giving pedestrians room. There is a pier but only accessible if resident of the Pawley pier Village condos. Local police, two inns one w restaurant, some full time residents. Nice family location.

As it's between Charleston and Myrtle Beach (closer to the latter), it is a summer resort and catches quite a lot of vacation traffic.

People sharing the beach were friendly and polite, and all dogs were tended to and kept under control.
