When you just can’t seem to find your family’s pause button on days that move by in a blink, create your own. Edisto Beach, South Carolina, is a welcome respite to unplug from the hustle and bustle of every day for the effortless family vacation you’ve been after.

The journey begins on the National Scenic Byway, where the drive through preserved lands and live oaks sets the tone for a laid-back vacation. Once on the island, Edisto Beach’s 5-mile stretch invites you to stroll, collect shells, and enjoy the shore with your entire family (four-legged family members included).

Beyond the beach, Edisto Beach State Park offers over 4 miles of accessible trails, ideal for hiking and biking, with picturesque ocean views. Discover exploratory opportunities that teach you about our natural assets at the Environmental Learning Center, or explore a historical site with unique landscapes like “Boneyard Beach” at Botany Bay.
