Beautiful beach, amazing state park!…read more To access the state park offerings, you must pay per person. We paid $8 for the both of us. The drive to the north beach is beautiful! Low county feel before you get to the beach. We arrived on a Saturday around 10am, and were able to find parking near beach access. This is a lovely beach. A lot more biodiversity than most other beaches along the coast. It also felt more spacious, less touristy than others we frequent during high season.

First time hearing of this place, so obviously first time going here. Loved the beach! The sand was…read moremuch better than at Edisto. I could walk around without my water shoes and not be in pain from all the tiny rocks and shells. The sand was actually soft and nice. Didnt like that we had to pay, but that made it so it wasnt nearly as crowded as other beaches we have been to. Also love that there are bathrooms nearby. If you want to go to the lighthouse (extra fee of $5 a person) I would suggest that you go before the beach. They have a strict limit of how many people can be in the lighthouse at a time and the wait list can get long. We waited over an hour then had 15 to be out before they closed.

At high tide it's a tricky walk as sadly there's a lot of natural erosion happening. There are a lot of shells that are so pretty, you are not allowed to take but admire. The beach is heavily populated with remnants of trees and driftwood. Lots of signage to learn from. The drive through the tour has landmarks to stop at. Free adventure

You can easily drive; it's only a minute off of the main highway to Hilton Head. But once you're there, you're walking into an atmosphere that feels a world away. The official paths are fairly wide and well-maintained, some are roads. The estimates given by signs assumed that you were pretty slow; I made it to the shell point and back in less than half the time they said. But it was still an hour and a half in what it must be said is a pretty hostile environment. You'll want bug spray and sunscreen (preferably bought somewhere inland where it's cheaper than it is in this area). And a lot of water. I never saw so much as a port-a-potty there, and there certainly wasn't any running water. And you need a lot of water. I bet that it's a nicer place to explore during the winter, which is generally quite pleasant in South Carolina, but regardless, the fact that a free space that shows of this fascinating environment is so easily available is worth considering regardless. If you tough it out, the gothic forests and aromatic marshlands will likely leave an impression.

You get to sleep on the beach sand (we pitched a tent) and fall asleep to the waves and wake up to the sound of waves. Crawl out of your tent to sand and palm trees. It's just perfect. But wait, there's more... next to each campsite there's a path that takes you straight to the beach. There's also a communal bathroom with showers that's super clean. Great spot to go to if you wanna get away from civilization.

This is an extensive paved bike and walking trail which runs around ten miles (as of this writing)…read more More development is planned as part of the larger East Coast Greenway network. This segment of trail has several parking areas, some with water, apparently one with bathrooms that I didn't make it to because I didn't have the time or energy for all ten miles on a hot day. It is built on an abandoned railroad right of way and despite running close to many of the larger roads in the area, has enough trees that it feels like green space unless you are actually crossing a road, which happens occasionally. There are some bridges over splendid estuarine habitat, and there's no reason not to check out the trail if you have time.

This is such a beautiful location and place for a ride. The horse was such a gentle giant, his name is Bandit and I even got a hug from him at the end. I can not say enough good things about the guide. He was knowledgeable about the horses and everything on property and around. He was so friendly and since it was just us I felt so very lucky that I got to chat with him as we rode. It was over way too fast, I wish they offered longer rides. It was a perfect experience. Next time I return to Beaufort Im going back for sure.

We just happened to run across Surrey Up and decided we absolutely had to rent a Surrey cart for the day, and I am so very glad we did. I could not say enough about the customer service we were given when we arrived- Jan (owner of the company) goes above and beyond to make sure you are have a great time. She offers a few different packages and bikes to choose from. We rented a two seater- one of the larger bikes- for half a day. She also charges by the hour. Overall, I highly recommend Surrey Up of Beaufort to anyone who wants to get a feel for Beaufort at their own pace!

Get this y'all- I finally talked my better half into going tent camping for the first time. This…read morehas been a two year process, starting off with staying in a nice cabin, then later a more rustic cabin, and then after that a Yurt at Sweetwater Creek State Park outside of Atlanta. This week we whittled the outdoor experience to a simple tent here at Edisto and guess what? We had a great time and now my wife is into camping!!! While I would have wanted to spend the whole weekend here, I thought it best if we just camped for one night in case she hated it, because I'm not in the business of making people miserable, well for the most part, anyways. The whole process with booking was easy, just a short online reservation. If you have any specific questions you can call them right up and figure things out. Edisto Park is about 18 miles off Hwy 17 and east to find. We stayed at the Beach Campground, which has a ranger station/general store near the entrance where you can pick up firewood and anything else you may have forgotten before you set up camp. The campsites are clean, fairly level and clearly marked. There are electrical and water connections at each one, so if you need that (we didn't) it's available and in good condition. There is also a bath house with showers that are well maintained and beach access can be found throughout the campsite. We had a great time, saw some wildlife- including a fat raccoon that looked me dead in the eyes and ran off with my hot dog buns after it got dark, as well as some deer that said good morning to us as they walked through the marsh. The beach itself wasn't so great, lots of sharp seashells but still very clean, but with it still being April, we were more focused on camping than hitting the beach. All in all, a great campsite. Looking forward to camping again soon in some other SC state parks and having another good time.
