Where is Edisto Island located?
Edisto Island is located approximately 45 miles south of Charleston and approximately 40 miles east of Walterboro. It is situated about 60 miles north of Beaufort and about 100 miles north of Savannah, Ga. From where Coastal Highway U.S. 17 intersects with S.C. Highway 174, it is a leisurely 30 minute drive along Highway 174 under moss-covered oak archways and past old country churches, working farms, and antebellum plantation estates. The Intracoastal Waterway at the McKinley Washington, Jr., Bridge marks the gateway to Edisto Island.
