Front Beach & The Sound

Front Beach

The front beach of Edisto Beach features some of the most picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean in the state of South Carolina. Facing the south east, beautiful sunrises over the sandy dunes await for those that wake up early, and at night, cool breezes from the ocean usher in cocktail hour. 

The front beach can truly be enjoyed year-round. In the summer, you can wake up early and see the tracks of baby loggerhead turtles that hatched overnight and have made their way into the Atlantic. Shrimp boats dot the horizon during the fall of the year, and in the winter months, beloved events like the Edisto Beach Christmas Parade and the Thanksgiving Turkey Trot take place down Palmetto Boulevard.

Homes on the numerous side streets of Palmetto Boulevard and on Jungle Road offer access to the front beach within just a few minutes of walking. These homes offer more seclusion than those directly on the front beach, but still allow extremely easy access to the beach at any time of year. 

The Sound

The Sound of Edisto Beach faces west towards St. Helena Sound, giving residents breathtaking sunset views on a near-nightly basis. On a clear day, you can look across the sound and see the bridge connecting Harbor Island and St. Helena Island outside of Beaufort. The waves on this side of the beach are smaller than those on the front beach, perfect for smaller children or those who enjoy calmer waters. 

Like the front beach, side streets near The Sound offer convenient access to the sandy beach within just a few minutes of walking.
