edisto beach, sc / day 4

Happy Friday evening friends! It's time for another Edisto Update!

The first thing Dylan and I did yesterday was take a short trip

to Botany Bay Plantation. I had never been before and had wanted

to see the row of oak trees. We walked a short trail to the beach

which is protected (you cannot take any shells from that beach

or they will fine you $470). This photo is one of many piles of

oyster shells on the beach. Of course, since you can't take any, there

are beautiful shells and hermit crabs everywhere!

The past two hurricanes to strike this area, Irma (2017) and Matthew (2015),

effected the landscape of the beach. It truly is a beautiful sight still. There 

are many toppled trees with roots on top of the sand. 

Here is the strand of oaks at Botany Bay Plantation. It is 

absolutely beautiful! It speaks for itself! 

Here is the beach at Botany Bay Plantation; you can see

the toppled trees. It's still so crazy for me to see a beach

with so many trees!

There are so many shells everywhere so people have, 

in a sense, decorated the beach with them. This is where people

have strung the shells onto a tree branch!! In the background you

can see where people have laid the conch shells on the driftwood!

Conch shells on an old palmetto tree. I added one myself!

Dylan on the beach :) I love him and I appreciate all he does for 

me. 

Later that same day, the sun was out and it was in the upper 70s.

Which means.... beach time! Finally!! I absolutely love

the beach here at Edisto. This swimsuit and shorts combo

is a cute way to stay comfy and cute. This sun hat from Target

is a spring + summer staple. 

For dinner we had Waterfront Restaurant. I highly recommend

this place! I will be doing a full Edisto travel guide next week with

the things I recommend! Dylan ate the shrimp and grits (they give

you a ton- he ate half there last night and had the rest tonight).

He absolutely loved it! I had the choose 2 combination- grilled 

shrimp + fried flounder. It comes with green beans and red

bell peppers. The entire meal was delicious!

This is the view from the restaurant! 

I have one more Edisto Update - we leave tomorrow :(

It will be posted tomorrow! Botany Bay was stunning

and the beach is breathtaking. There were even people

there with Enos and tents set up for the day! I have definitely

enjoyed my time here at Edisto Beach, SC!
