So...after visiting IOP and Folly I was thrilled when we visited Edisto. We have only been able to go once so far because of everything that relocating entails...but my question is I have read about some things, shops, places and I wonder if there is another area that we did not see. We only went down Jungle Rd I think and crossed over to the beach road to a public access spot. Please direct me in other directions, I especially would be interested in doing the trip over to the island with all the shells I read about in an earlier post. Any info is greatly appreciated.

For many years before we had vacationed at Myrtle Beach which became too crowded, loud and unfamily-like for us, so we moved on to quite, uncrowded Folly Beach which we loved. But, it too became so crowded, loud, unfamily-like so we decided to try Edisto and absolutely fell in love with the atmosphere, the beach, the history, even "The Pig". We've rented houses all up and down the beach and have been pleased with our rentals as well as the real estate companies, Edisto, Atwood, Prudential. We also stayed at the resort which was nice. (Our adults prefer the sound end but the teens want to stay closer to town for more wave action...and cute boys.) Either way, Edisto is a great family beach and town. PLEASE keep it that way and don't let all those folks who over-developed the other beaches anywhere near there. Our family has been vacationing at Edisto for about 14 years.

Get out let your hair down and stay in one of the beach homes. Much, Much different. Mark, your problem is you stayed in a resort. Get out let your hair down and stay in one of the beach homes.

We go to Edisto every year to spend the week between Christmas and New Years. A wonderful "flash back" to the beach of the 1950's that I remember as a kid. Very little commercialization, great restaurants, lots of gift and unique. one-of-a-kind shops, and just a short 45 minute drive north to Charleston and the Old Market, or south to Beaufort with all the wonderful art galleries featuring work of the Low County artists. We live in the Western NC mountains, and were introduced to Edisto by a friend about 7 years ago. We've been back every year since! Edisto is THE only beach to visit, in my opinion.

We've thought about visiting Wyndham Resort @ Edisto. Does anyone have any pros / cons? We usually vacation in October or November. When we're on vacation we enjoy finding true outlet stores (very rare to find those anymore!), flea markets, sitting & reading, no schedules, relaxing! We cook in most times but do like to have a couple of meals out but not looking for pricey/fancy, just good food. Since we've never been to Edisto & we'll be traveling approx 8 hours to get there we'd like to hear from folks about what to expect.

We have traveled to HHI and Myrtle Beach and like Hilton Head Island best. DO you think that our somewhat quiet 21 and 18 year olds will enjoy it. We are thinking of going to Edisto next summer.
