Edisto is an absolute beautiful area with amazing residents and visitors. Even in the summer when all the campgrounds are full and houses are rented it is no where near as packed as other local beaches. Please remember if you visit Edisto runs on it's own time so please don't get in a hurry bc no one else is. Also remember we only have one grocery store so in the summer give yourself a little extra time to shop and check out, last but not least please bring all your medications if you take any bc there is no Dr. office on the beach and the ER is about 45 minutes away.
People forget how remote Edisto is in comparison to going to Folly or Myrtle. But it's why I liked my visit and look forward again. Hopefully it stays more on an SC secret. Glad the laws are there to protect it from being over developed. There are enough golf courses and resorts on other islands to make up forit.
This has to be one of your best videos; the video shots are amazing. Outstanding quality. You can tell you got into the vibe in the area. It is now on our bucket list. Thanks for producing this video
@@EatSeeRV yes it does. The scenes where you are walking on the driftwood are very cool. I incorrectly thought it was fragile and would snap. Not implying your heavy (your not!) Very will done from an artistic viewpoint. Lighting was perfect
I’ve been going to Edisto for 2 weeks every year and it’s become my favorite place on Earth. And believe it or not, Edisto is home to Tortuga’s, one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. It’s home cooked Mexican food with a low country twist! It’s breakfast and lunch menus are INCREDIBLE!!!
I live on the coast of South Carolina and have never been to this paradise you just shared. I could not go there without visiting that boneyard beach......you made it look like a love story!!!
Oh never been to Edisto?!?! I've only been once, but my sister and mother rant and rave on it and have since I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s. TBH, I don't got to MB unless it's N. MB. I only visit HHI for family there. I go to all the small beaches instead!!!
What a beautifully done video. Edisto has long been a best kept secret with those of us who are native South Carolinians. Many of us continue to visit Edisto for summer vacations over decades, have memories of childhood vacations and are now taking our children and grandchildren there. I hope Edisto never goes the route of modern tourist and stays a small, well kept and cherished community. Everything about it is magical and like stepping back in time. Myrtle Beach is exciting. Charleston and Savannah have found their place. Edisto is for the beach lovers that want to relax, experience vacation as it's been for a long time and don't have a need for flashing lights, tons of people and do have a need to go home rested and refreshed. I'm so glad you found and enjoyed Edisto Island. Y'all come back and visit when you can. Safe travels to you.
This was the most amazing videos on Edisto that I have ever seen. Y’all did such an unbelievable job on your cinematography and narration. I have lived on Edisto Island my whole life and have the pleasure of working at Marsh Hen Mill. Y’all come back sometime soon!
Thank you so much! I'm super stoked to hear that you enjoyed it. We have fallen in love with Edisto and will definitely be back! - Dennis PS: Best Grits EVER!
As others have said, the storytelling/cinematography here is amazing. I grew up in SC. I have a photo of a baby (me, just past my first birthday in 1958) on a blow up raft in the surf. We spent my Dad’s vacation time each year at Edisto for the next 12 years. Very good memories. Thank you so much for this video!
I have frequented Edisto since I was in elementary school (I'm now 41), and I must say that you absolutely have made a masterpiece here. It is so difficult to capture the beauty of the island, its creatures, and its people, but you did it and did it well. Seriously, thank you for doing this... it's such a great (and I'm convinced will be timeless) tribute to Edisto.
WOW you guys nailed this video! The scenery the filming the music. Local information cooking eating out it was all done first class. Just loved the boneyard beach and I love seeing the Spanish moss in that part of our beautiful country.
I’m sad you posted this because this is my favorite place to go and get away from everyone. I don’t want this place to get touristy like the other beaches :(
I get that! I hope it won't become that. I think it's worked very hard already to stay that way, and hopefully the message of this video regarding it's peace and serenity bring people who are seeking that not those who want to develop it.
Aye @Nikki ! But jeepers 15yrs ago n back, it was the definition of secret!! Compared to then it's absolutely touristy now. I miss it so much! Use to live there 6mo of the year since 1991.
Hopefully Edisto holds out. It's far away from downtown and you can't really build luxury homes out there like every other beach and borough in the city. I call it the "Great Local Relocation." Multi-million dollar homes going up everywhere ... John's Island and Wadmalaw are next to manifest into everything Mt. Pleasant is.
I live in Walterboro just a little bit further inland and I love Edisto Beach!Have going there my whole life!My BFF lives full time on Edisto Beach!I have a lot of friends that have houses on the beach!👙⛱️🏖️
Favorite part was 16:23-17:23 ; great shots and loved the accompanying background music. Btw. Smart man to say her cooking was better. Firm handshakes for a job well done. 🤝👓
Oh snap! You’ve let the best kept secret out of the bag! Edisto is one of my very favorite places! I love this island, and have spent many, many vacation dollars here. It is like going back in time with the beauty of the low country, but it’s not for everyone. No amusement parks, little to no fast food places, just little local places with so much charm that beauty that you can’t help but relax.
Well, you guys got Christine “jonesing” for the beach. Edison island looked like a good destination. The shrimp and grits looked good. Yes Dennis, you have a good answer when Liz asked you about it. 😀😁😁
The first place my family ever camped was Edisto Island. One of the best places we have ever vacationed! Walked straight from our campsite to the beach that was not crowded at all. We could hear the ocean waves when we went to bed. I recommend it highly!
This is a great video. My wife and I bought a 1/4 acre of land just 2 blocks from the beach 5 years ago and are planning to move there this fall. With all that needs to done in moving I sometime have doubts about why we are moving. When I get into my head about it I play your video and it removes all the doubts I have and gets me excited about moving there. Bless you both.
That shrimp and grits looked amazing! It's truly the only way I eat grits! LOL! That island looks like a little slice of Heaven. We'll have to make it a stop when we get to that coast.
You forgot about the deer. They're Everywhere, and they're not afraid of people. I woke to several at the back of the house we stayed in. They let us walk right up to them.
As a native South Carolinian, Edisto has always been my family's favorite home away from home. For any Yankees (non-natives), if you can't stand heat or bugs DO NOT visit any time from May to September. After the Carolina Wren, mosquitos are the second most popular "bird"...🤫 Edisto is South Carolina's hidden gem.
We discovered Edisto last year. We have been four times since then. It’s about a 4.5 hour drive for us from NC. Absolutely love the laid back and slow pace there. Just kick back drink coffee and whiskey with good cigars and relax
Edisto Island is definitely on my destination list now. Some parts of it reminded me of Ft. DeSoto with way less people. It was very beautiful and serene. Btw I liked the tunes on this one. As always thanks for sharing. 💖🙏✌
Seriously! Live on this island and in the summer it’s packed with tourists and so many people are starting to move here, it’s getting crowded, and now South Carolina’s secret is out 😭
OMG, this is one of the best video presentations I have ever seen. You have sparked my interest to go to Edisto Island now. Your discussion of shrimp and grits as well as boiled peanuts has my mouth watering :) The Boneyard Beach footage is awesome. Please continue to share your adventures!
Absolutely loved this video! I am making a list of places we want to visit in 2022, and after watching this, we added Edisto to our list pronto. In addition I just want to add that I LOVED your videos with all the hikes and parks up in Michigan from a few months back. I had no idea the state had so so many beautiful parks for hiking, and that gorgeous shoreline along the lakes. I had never even thought of adding MI to our bucket list, it’s on there now, for sure. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and thank you so much for your content and for all you do to share your travels with us, including all the great restaurants as well. We don’t even have an RV, yet we know where to go! Thanks again and can’t wait to see where y’all go in 2022.
What an absolutely gem of a place. The tranquility came right through the screen...not to mention the warmth of the sun. It is 2 degrees and the light snowfall from last night is slowly melting in the morning sun. I have loved escaping a wee while to your part of paradise. Thank you. 🙏 💝 🇳🇿 🙋♀️ 🇳🇱
I lived in Edisto my whole childhood, and moved to NC about 4 years ago. I hope to visit again soon. Everyone on that island knew my dad. The Salisbury bunch
One thing I appreciate about being from south Mississippi is boiled peanuts are everywhere. In our little town, an elderly man boils them on his covered flatbed trailer on Main St. The Cajun flavored boiled peanuts are great as well.
This is my favorite little beach town in the world! Grew up visiting with my great grandmother in Egret point, my grandmother kept the tradition going and we still go back every year. See you in a few weeks Edisto! 🏝
Hey, former Edisto Island resident here! An amazing place for sure...We called it EdisSlow as it was hard to get things done in a timely manner.😎 Fishing & relaxing is a art form. So I recommend buying a completely move in property, rather than build!!!! Have a steady income when you get there. Be prepared jobs are umm well seasonal. It takes time to be trusted and fully embraced by the locals, sometimes years. Be honorable and straight up with people, these people know human nature, their ranks expand 10 fold every year, like it or not. This is considered a family vacation beach. Folly Beach or Isle of Palm are for the party crowds. EdisSlow was not for me. Love to visit, give me the urban life.
This is from a local book your Edisto state park site at least 4 months in advance. Even in the winter it stays booked. Edisto is an awesome place to visit.
Great video. Been coming to Edisto for 40 years and love it. Our only request is for people to come and enjoy, but also know that part of the charm is the pace and the lack of lots of entertainment, pharmacy, chain restaurants, large stores. There are other beach areas with all that - come and enjoy Edisto for what it offers and don't demand what it doesn't! Yes, Botany Bay is one of the most amazing places to visit. I never get tired of visits there any time of the year, any weather.
You guys are too cute. Oh my gosh the recipe you made on here with shrimp and grits looks amazing. We just moved a year ago to Bluffton, SC. Our friends in the neighborhood here invited us to their beach house in Edisto.
Never heard of that island. Looks so peaceful. You are absolutely correct about Nomads keeping the parks clean for the next person. Thanks guys. Cheers!!!
gotta love those extended hours of golden light in the winter months! you guys got some incredible video at Boneyard Beach! so photogenic... almost like being on another planet!
So so glad i stumbled upon your channel. Went and booked a beach spot after watching this for a year out!! 😳 but I’m sure it will be worth the wait! Thanks again.
Hey guys, again amazing footage and history of our area/Edisto. Sad to say, we live 30 min ish from there and only been there once in the last 15 plus years. Next time by, swing in for dinner.
We are so excited to go here after your amazing video!!!! Thanks so much!!! You guys are so cute!!! Heading to isle of palms for a week over Christmas then camping on Edisto Island in our van!!! Again thanks!!!
I live in South Carolina and have been to Edisto Beach many times. We have stayed in the beach campground (Edisto State Park) in a pop-up camper and have stayed at the state park cabins on the marsh side. We have also stayed at the rental homes on the beach and condos by the golf course. So many options! And if you are into searching for fossilized sharks teeth on the beach, The beach at the State Park is a great place to hunt - I have found some real beauties!
Reminds my of the feeling of Jekyll’s island which is one of my favorite places to visit. You did a gorgeous job on the vlog and I want to go right now 👍🏻🤪🤩🧳🚗
Dennis is right that you just can't beat a meal cooked by your awesome wife. Eating out is too easy these days. Man the nice warm beach looks amazing on a day that was freezing.
Beautiful vid; SC is beautiful; Florida does have it's crowds at the beach but still plenty of places where the crowds are not there and in FLA you can enjoy the actual waters in late March through October. Where as in the SC July & August thats it and still with a slight chill. But I get it; the old South shores are peaceful and bring Southern charm. We're watching you to capture our trip that way come Oct. Thank you
I'm not sure if you've ever been to the lowcountry of SC/GA. Its literally the exact same climate as Florida, hell north Florida is part of the lowcountry. Not all of SC has the same climate as the lowcountry.
New subscriber here... Really enjoying all of your content, however this and the last posting is creating some inspiration to head over to South Carolina (from Texas that is). I was just curious how the mosquito situation was during your visit, as they are quite attracted to me - unfortunately. Thanks for all your inspiring and high quality videos!
Glad you found us and are enjoying! We didn't really have an issue. They love me too. We don't go out at the "witching hour" aka sunset unless there's a breeze though. But during fall it wasn't an issue
'squitos ;) That situation depends. Lived in SC and gone up and down its coast for almost 40 years now. If there's a storm and it's warm weather you'll see them. You see more in spring and summer. Honestly, if you want to avoid them I'd go after August. Better rates for staying too. Less people. If I could convince my sister, who I got on vacation with, to take my niece out of school during the fall I'd go then rather than in June/July. Plus as you know in Texas..heat and humidity. Columbia, around where I live, has the affectionate nickname of "Famously Hot" due to the heat and humidity. Bugs enjoy that weather. So I'd say the mosquito situation is going to come down to when you want to visit.
ok, my family lives on Edisto, so I can tell you about bugs. 1. Mosquitos generally stay off of the beach. But if you go anywhere past the sand dunes (except in the town), you need bug spray. Now, mosquitos aren't all that's out there to make life miserable. There are also sand gnats, (aka: noseeums) that will follow you onto the beach, but maybe not so much if there's wind. There are also deer and dog flies. These look like house flies but bite. And they bite HARD. So having a can of DEET bug repellant is a must , and DEET is a must. don't waste your time with anything not containing DEET. Finally, don't forget the fire ants, so watch your feet regardless of where you go.
We’ve been to Botany Bay twice now. The first time we lucked out and came at the right time. The second time was about a year later and when we were leaving the tide had risen. Fortunately, it wasn’t too high and I was wearing flip flops. But we loved it so much we made it a point to make time to stop on our way through the second time
I use to go twice a year! My favorite place!! I come home i. a neck brace from looking for fossils on the beach to Jermey’s Inlet. lol! Hope you went to Wadley! Best beach at Edisto Beach State Park. in Oct/Nov. VERY busy in summer. Meg Hoyle runs Botany Bay Ecotours for dolphin boat rides, wine sunset cruises. SHE TEACHES YOU ABOUT THE ISLAND AND BOTANY ECOSYSTEMS. GREAT VIDEO.
I stayed there last year they don't have full hookups you literally have to go out of the campground go up the road to the dump station. When I did it was a long line of people waiting to dump. There's no bike path so you have to be really careful when riding. Only one grocery store. Be sure to have what you need when you get there. Making a reservation is hard because you have to wait for a cancellation to get in. Campground pretty much stays booked all the time. Sounds like we didn't enjoy our stay but we really did. Great beach access from the campground. Riding my bike on the beach was the most fun I've had in awhile Sands good and hard. If you love the beach not the amenities this is the place for you.
Such a great video with lots of information! Thank you! My husband and I are looking to possibly relocate. We would like to take our class C south to check out different areas in SC and NC. We have no idea where to begin so this is very helpful!!
This was a great video on Edisto Island. It was great to about the island. Very nice to know. Very good information. Glad to have watched this video. The food you cooked up looked very good. And the good you ate looked very good as well. It’s great to know a part of history. Sorry I’ve been so busy lately with out water heater that broke and a part to the toilet broke and they both leaked water in my house. Had to keep moving from hotel to hotel. Mine and sisters back are about broke. Your video cheered me up. Glad I watched it. Thank you so much for this video. Have a great week and see you soon!
What a fantastically crafted video on such a wonderful place to visit. Really special! you had me at collard greens and BBQ. Informative, Entertaining, and completely inspiring! Please continue to allow yourselves the time you need. You are nailing it!🤗
It is without a doubt our favorite place to camp is SC. The 2nd is Hunting Island State park which is the next barrier island south of Edisto. BOTH are amazing!

Are you allowed to tent camp in this area? I’m not one for crowds and this looks so relaxing.

No way!! Marsh Hen Mill is always our first stop on the way in the island! I miss those donuts though 😋
I live on Edisto too!

Yes to grits, seafood and boiled peanuts. So glad to be in the south. Safe travels
Camped there many times and always enjoyed it. Low tide is a great time to find sharks teeth!
We searched on our trip but didn't see any. - Liz
Shhhhh... the SC lowcountry is beautiful amazing natural secret! Love it! I grew up there. Great vid guys. Thx
What a wonderful place to grow up! - Liz

The laws should keep it from getting too much like other SC beaches. Only problem is the skyrocketing price of renting. :(
It won’t there isn’t enough houses for it to become like the other beaches

Hahaha ! The beach is so nice and relaxing
okay, so, now is it going to get busy ? Best kept secret's are best KEPT! I love this place. Hope it doesn't catch on..
We have been going there 2-3x/year for 20+ years. So much great history and still a quaint beach town.
It is so beautiful

Haha I'm sure! hopefully, this will bring more people that just want to love it and respect its natural and serene beauty!
Bringing more people is the problem! We don’t want that in South Carolina. That’s why we’ve tried to keep our precious Edisto a secret 🤫

We stayed there in the beach campground this year for July 4th. It was definitely hopping then. We loved the island and our stay there.
Dang! Glad to know it was a fun stay for you. - Liz
Our ancestors are in the oceans and it is to be honored. We are why you all are here 🤌🏾
We are going there in 2 weeks! So happy you posted this❤️
Yay enjoy! Did you get a beach spot?
@@EatSeeRV No just booked a week ago. How was the WIFI not a big deal just curious we are mostly going to unwind and walk the trails.
@@peggyowens5475 no Wi-Fi
It’s my happy place to! Even though it’s a small island with one grocery store ITS MY HAPPY PLACE! The best beach/island ever
This is our new years destination for 4 years now. Beautiful.
What a fun spot!
Absolutely the best beach camping around!
One thing I appreciate about being from south Mississippi is boiled peanuts are everywhere. In our little town, an elderly man boils them on his covered flatbed trailer on Main St. The Cajun flavored boiled peanuts are great as well.

It's legit the best! So lucky you got to visit there growing up
The South Carolina low country is of one my favorite places on Earth.
I’ve been going to Charleston for almost a dozen years. I just found this this summer and this is my new obsession
I’m at Edisto right now and y’all nailed it, shhh….
Hey, former Edisto Island resident here! An amazing place for sure...We called it EdisSlow as it was hard to get things done in a timely manner.😎 Fishing & relaxing is a art form. So I recommend buying a completely move in property, rather than build!!!! Have a steady income when you get there. Be prepared jobs are umm well seasonal. It takes time to be trusted and fully embraced by the locals, sometimes years. Be honorable and straight up with people, these people know human nature, their ranks expand 10 fold every year, like it or not. This is considered a family vacation beach. Folly Beach or Isle of Palm are for the party crowds. EdisSlow was not for me. Love to visit, give me the urban life.
Great video! I love Edisto. My family loves it . we go every chance we can get. Thanks for sharing. Happy holidays
This is from a local book your Edisto state park site at least 4 months in advance. Even in the winter it stays booked. Edisto is an awesome place to visit.
Great video. Been coming to Edisto for 40 years and love it. Our only request is for people to come and enjoy, but also know that part of the charm is the pace and the lack of lots of entertainment, pharmacy, chain restaurants, large stores. There are other beach areas with all that - come and enjoy Edisto for what it offers and don't demand what it doesn't! Yes, Botany Bay is one of the most amazing places to visit. I never get tired of visits there any time of the year, any weather.
Well put, as a lowcountry guy born and raised, this is the only beach left we go too
You guys are too cute. Oh my gosh the recipe you made on here with shrimp and grits looks amazing. We just moved a year ago to Bluffton, SC. Our friends in the neighborhood here invited us to their beach house in Edisto.
Thank you! You need to go hang with them out there for sure. - D
We love camping at Edisto. Will be there again in May of 2022. It is truly a "hidden gem". Nice video.
Went there a few summers ago. Nice, but hot, humid and windy 24 hours a day. :) We had fun.
It's heaven
this was DOPE!!! Thank you very much for your share.
Thanks for watching 😊
shhhhh! secret heaven!
Wow the music just complements the scenery so well. Some chill strat guitar sounds are always welcome.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it ☺️
WOW!!! That is BEAUTY!! Thank You guys SO much for this !!!
outstanding, now more people are gonna move here
I'm from the ACE Basin of S.C. (now on JohnsIsland) and must say, you did a beautiful job! Such a joy. thank you.
Never heard of that island. Looks so peaceful. You are absolutely correct about Nomads keeping the parks clean for the next person. Thanks guys. Cheers!!!
It really really is F&T! Thanks for tuning in :)
Outstanding job with this video!!! Thank you!
Thank you, appreciate you watching
Just got to our campsite at Edisto Beach, thanks to your video! Stunning sunset to greet us!
gotta love those extended hours of golden light in the winter months! you guys got some incredible video at Boneyard Beach! so photogenic... almost like being on another planet!
Yes completely! It was a videographer and photographers dream!
So so glad i stumbled upon your channel. Went and booked a beach spot after watching this for a year out!! 😳 but I’m sure it will be worth the wait! Thanks again.
You are gonna love Edisto sooo much I live here on this island
Yes it was a secret until you told youtube thanks alot and no we dont need any extra ppl sorry no room :)
Fantastic photography. Some of it so beautiful you could frame it.
Hey guys, again amazing footage and history of our area/Edisto. Sad to say, we live 30 min ish from there and only been there once in the last 15 plus years. Next time by, swing in for dinner.
I highly recommend a visit to the Edisto Island Serpentarium.
We are so excited to go here after your amazing video!!!! Thanks so much!!! You guys are so cute!!! Heading to isle of palms for a week over Christmas then camping on Edisto Island in our van!!! Again thanks!!!
Enjoy! It's such a special place
@@EatSeeRV you guys too ❤️😊Happy travels!!!
Thanking you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us!
I live in South Carolina and have been to Edisto Beach many times. We have stayed in the beach campground (Edisto State Park) in a pop-up camper and have stayed at the state park cabins on the marsh side. We have also stayed at the rental homes on the beach and condos by the golf course. So many options! And if you are into searching for fossilized sharks teeth on the beach, The beach at the State Park is a great place to hunt - I have found some real beauties!
Reminds my of the feeling of Jekyll’s island which is one of my favorite places to visit. You did a gorgeous job on the vlog and I want to go right now 👍🏻🤪🤩🧳🚗
Dennis is right that you just can't beat a meal cooked by your awesome wife. Eating out is too easy these days. Man the nice warm beach looks amazing on a day that was freezing.
South Carolina isn't too far from ya'll now. Take a warm and relaxing getaway soon. I promise you'll love it there!
My heaven on earth, absolutely love Edisto ❤️ ❤️❤️
Pork rinds with pimento cheese is my goto meal. Try it with chicken salad too.
Yummm
Wow! Amazing music choice with the Botany Bay segment! Great job. SC history is so interesting! Jane
It is. Glad you enjoyed watching!
Beautiful vid; SC is beautiful; Florida does have it's crowds at the beach but still plenty of places where the crowds are not there and in FLA you can enjoy the actual waters in late March through October. Where as in the SC July & August thats it and still with a slight chill. But I get it; the old South shores are peaceful and bring Southern charm. We're watching you to capture our trip that way come Oct. Thank you
I'm not sure if you've ever been to the lowcountry of SC/GA. Its literally the exact same climate as Florida, hell north Florida is part of the lowcountry. Not all of SC has the same climate as the lowcountry.
New subscriber here... Really enjoying all of your content, however this and the last posting is creating some inspiration to head over to South Carolina (from Texas that is). I was just curious how the mosquito situation was during your visit, as they are quite attracted to me - unfortunately. Thanks for all your inspiring and high quality videos!
Glad you found us and are enjoying! We didn't really have an issue. They love me too. We don't go out at the "witching hour" aka sunset unless there's a breeze though. But during fall it wasn't an issue
'squitos ;) That situation depends. Lived in SC and gone up and down its coast for almost 40 years now. If there's a storm and it's warm weather you'll see them. You see more in spring and summer. Honestly, if you want to avoid them I'd go after August. Better rates for staying too. Less people. If I could convince my sister, who I got on vacation with, to take my niece out of school during the fall I'd go then rather than in June/July. Plus as you know in Texas..heat and humidity. Columbia, around where I live, has the affectionate nickname of "Famously Hot" due to the heat and humidity. Bugs enjoy that weather. So I'd say the mosquito situation is going to come down to when you want to visit.
ok, my family lives on Edisto, so I can tell you about bugs. 1. Mosquitos generally stay off of the beach. But if you go anywhere past the sand dunes (except in the town), you need bug spray. Now, mosquitos aren't all that's out there to make life miserable. There are also sand gnats, (aka: noseeums) that will follow you onto the beach, but maybe not so much if there's wind. There are also deer and dog flies. These look like house flies but bite. And they bite HARD. So having a can of DEET bug repellant is a must , and DEET is a must. don't waste your time with anything not containing DEET. Finally, don't forget the fire ants, so watch your feet regardless of where you go.
Just catching up on your travels Dennis and Liz! Thank you for sharing!
Edisto Island looks like a beautiful place, we just moved to SC from Massachusetts, we'll have to check it out! thanks for the video
Enjoy 😊
We’ve been to Botany Bay twice now. The first time we lucked out and came at the right time. The second time was about a year later and when we were leaving the tide had risen. Fortunately, it wasn’t too high and I was wearing flip flops. But we loved it so much we made it a point to make time to stop on our way through the second time
Edisto is beautiful . We absolutely love the island !
Great videography and awesome music. Very mellow. Travel safe.
I use to go twice a year! My favorite place!! I come home i. a neck brace from looking for fossils on the beach to Jermey’s Inlet. lol! Hope you went to Wadley! Best beach at Edisto Beach State Park. in Oct/Nov. VERY busy in summer. Meg Hoyle runs Botany Bay Ecotours for dolphin boat rides, wine sunset cruises. SHE TEACHES YOU ABOUT THE ISLAND AND BOTANY ECOSYSTEMS. GREAT VIDEO.
I haven’t been there yet! I’ll have to go. I tried to make boiled peanuts in my instant pot. Mush. 😂Old way the best. Beautiful!
Haha oh no! They're so good
I just found you, how I could have missed your channel is a mystery, I’m a low country fan and Edisto is now on my have to list .... soon
I just Love all your videos. Thank you so much for your Lovely job on this Edisto video.... you make us proud to be from SC. Have a safe trip Ya'll.
Aw thank you 😁
I stayed there last year they don't have full hookups you literally have to go out of the campground go up the road to the dump station. When I did it was a long line of people waiting to dump. There's no bike path so you have to be really careful when riding. Only one grocery store. Be sure to have what you need when you get there. Making a reservation is hard because you have to wait for a cancellation to get in. Campground pretty much stays booked all the time. Sounds like we didn't enjoy our stay but we really did. Great beach access from the campground. Riding my bike on the beach was the most fun I've had in awhile Sands good and hard. If you love the beach not the amenities this is the place for you.
Welcome to the LowCountry❣️
I would love to see you Edisto❣️🎄❣️.
Thank you so much for this. We will be moving to the area soon and this will be a must do weekend getaway!
Such a great video with lots of information! Thank you! My husband and I are looking to possibly relocate. We would like to take our class C south to check out different areas in SC and NC. We have no idea where to begin so this is very helpful!!
This was a great video on Edisto Island. It was great to about the island. Very nice to know. Very good information. Glad to have watched this video. The food you cooked up looked very good. And the good you ate looked very good as well. It’s great to know a part of history. Sorry I’ve been so busy lately with out water heater that broke and a part to the toilet broke and they both leaked water in my house. Had to keep moving from hotel to hotel. Mine and sisters back are about broke. Your video cheered me up. Glad I watched it. Thank you so much for this video. Have a great week and see you soon!
So sorry to hear of the challenges right now Sherri. Wishing you well and glad to hear our video brought you joy.
@@EatSeeRV I glad too! Glad I joined your channel. Very informational with good history lessons. Thank you for that.
Great job on this vid! Loved,loved,loved the music you picked…what a special place! Nice job kids!
Thank you! Music is always a challenging part of creating a video. Glad you felt we nailed it :)
What a fantastically crafted video on such a wonderful place to visit. Really special! you had me at collard greens and BBQ. Informative, Entertaining, and completely inspiring! Please continue to allow yourselves the time you need. You are nailing it!🤗
Thank you so much. Collards & BBQ 🤤 P.S. This was filmed before we did the "we need a break video" haha. Trust us we still need a break! - Liz
It is without a doubt our favorite place to camp is SC. The 2nd is Hunting Island State park which is the next barrier island south of Edisto. BOTH are amazing!
We will definitely be returning to Edisto 😍
We will have to check out Hunting Island next time we're up that way, thanks! - Dennis
This has some real UNC-TV vibes. Nice.
Sea Turtles are delicious, am I right or am I right!!!
