The Beach At Botany Bay Plantation (Edisto Island, SC)

The beach at Botany Bay Plantation is, quite simply, a magical place – with shells tucked into the crevices of the cabbage palmetto bark and the over-turned bones of long-gone live oaks.  To get to this wonderful place you must park your car (check out #15 of the ‘driving tour‘) – and then walk about half a mile across two land bridges surrounded by coastal marsh that connect two hammock islands – the second of which is ocean front.  It’s a lovely place.
