== Edisto Island, South Carolina ==

Edisto Island is truly one of South Carolina's best kept secrets. With a sprawling marina and miles and miles of unspoiled beach stretches, there are just so many things to do in Edisto Island. Edisto Island activities include biking, onshore camping, golfing and horseback riding. Rentals can be rented right from on-site rental centers or on local shops. Meantime, the unspoiled creeks and marshes that dot the island can also be explored by renting boats from a local sea captain, or participating in boat tours offered by island tour operators.



Aside from the endowments of the sea on both the environment and the people's way of living, island communities hold a unique charm all their own, and for Edisto Island, it is their famous antebellum plantation estates that were a legacy of the English and Spanish settlers who populated the island from 1500s to 1790s.




These plantations produced rice, indigo and the famed Edisto Sea Island Cotton, which ranked among the list of finest cottons in the world and accounted for the affluence of early Edisto Island residents. Both the plantations and their private home estates are now declared as historical sites by the National Register of Historic Places.



Edisto Island is one of the very few surviving unspoiled beach communities in the United States. As such, an Edisto Island vacation is the perfect choice for those who want to experience raw beach living at its best. The island is characterized by the absence of commercial frills that have entrapped other vacation beach resorts.



An Edisto Island vacation can be enjoyed year-round, not just in the summers, as the weather is temperate for the most part of the year which makes for a busy yet comfortable outdoor recreation.
