On behalf of the Edisto Chamber of Commerce, I would like to welcome you to Edisto Island - South Carolina's best-kept secret. Edisto is the ultimate
vacation destination. Come rent a beach cottage, throw a cast net for shrimp, dip your toes in the surf, or build a sand castle. Experience the perfect combination of oceanfront beaches, saltwater marshes and Lowcountry oaks draped in Spanish moss. A year-round temperate climate
provides for excellent outdoor recreational
opportunities. Our coastal waters are filled with fish, shrimp, crabs and oysters. Take a leisurely bike ride, hike a nature trail, or kayak in a tidal creek. Beach walks and golf are yet other popular pastimes for that perfect day on Edisto. We invite you to enjoy local seafood in our restaurants and look for unique items in our gift shops. Historic sites are prevalent on the Island, and our picturesque roads beg for a drive. We have a rich cultural heritage in which you can share. Boat and land tours are available. Our casual lifestyle and slow pace are a welcome break from the rush of everyday life.
For your most memorable vacation, come to where the rivers meet the ocean and let
your cares drift away. We welcome you and hope your stay is so enjoyable that you just can't wait to come back! Please stop by the Chamber office, 42 Station Court, for information about our
area. You may reach us at 888-333-2781, 843-869-3867,
chamber@edistochamber.com or

Cordially, Lisa Harrell, Executive Director, Edisto Chamber of Commerce
