Edisto Beach Offers 4th of July Fun

 

You can’t beat the beach for a relaxing and patriotic Independence Day! 

We headed to Edisto Beach where the sun was out and so were American flags as far as the eye could see. 

We did our part by bringing a small flag. 

The rules at this beach allow people to bring alcoholic beverages, unlike the ones closer to Charleston. Many people on this day were drinking beer held in koozies. 

Edisto Beach does prohibit glass containers. Plastic bottles of water are allowed, again unlike other area beaches. 

Flags also adorned some of the pleasure craft that cruised along the beach. 

Edisto Cloud Show!

Edisto Island has become our go-to beach this summer. The drive is longer than Sullivan’s and Folly but we know we can bring our chairs. Sullivan’s Island still asks visitors to keep moving. We’ve heard if you bring a towel you can stay for a while. We need our beach chairs.

Edisto on Sunday was very nice. The sun was shining, it wasn’t too hot, the water was comfortable and the waves were active for some body surfing. But the clouds, to me, were the highlight. They were poppin’ in all directions. With the Snapseed application on my iPad, I need some processing to make the clouds pop even more.

I also shared these on the Facebook site South Carolina Rambles and have received many likes and favorable comments.

Memorable Memorial Day Weekend Beach Visit

 Sunday we wanted to hit the beach for the first time this year but feared fierce traffic delays and mobs of fellow sun worshipers at beaches closer to Charleston.

So we made the just more than an hour drive to Edisto Island and we’re glad we did, finding the traffic light, and parking easy close to the sands.

The beach here was pretty crowded but the tide was going out so “social distancing” was not a problem.

The skies were clear with temperatures in the low 80s. Just a pleasant few hours all around. We didn’t want to get too sunburn so we’re careful not to stay too long. The large American flag near where we set up our chairs added to the positive Memorial Day vibe. And the water was very refreshing too!
