AN ISLAND BY THE SEA

Edisto Island, where we are situated now, is an island bordered on the East by the Atlantic Ocean.  One of the most visited places on the Island is Botany Bay.  The Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve and Wildlife Management Area is 4,687 acres and consists of two large plantations.  It grew Sea Island Cotton, the most valuable cotton available and made the owners of these plantations very wealthy.  The property was left to the State of South Carolina and is now managed by the Department of Natural Resources.  It has one of the most interesting beaches I have seen anywhere and we love to go there.  It is a photographer's Paradise, and I am going to share some pics from there. The beaches are totally natural and amazing.  There are more shells there than I have seen anywhere else, and they are to be left there.  The DNR volunteers will shake you down as you leave the beach, believe me!
