Despite the lack of commercialism found on Edisto, there is something for everyone four seasons out of the year.
The Springtime is a favorite time for many to be on the Beach. The Summer crowds have yet to appear but the climate is perfect to enjoy walks on the beach, trips through the many creeks of the ACE Basin, and the weekend art shows and home tours.
Summer months obviously bring the sun, surf, sand, and water activities.
As the seasonal visitors depart and Autumn rolls in many long time property owners take advantage of the down time as the weather permits swimming, boating, and fishing until late in the season.
Finally, many find the Winter months to be a favorite time to enjoy Edisto. With only a few hundred full time residents, the Winter months are perfect for a relaxing retreat to listen to the waves on the shore and watch the season change.
