What to Do in Edisto Beach in December Cozy coastal holidays, quiet beaches & Lowcountry magic

1. Enjoy the Peaceful Winter Beach

No crowds. No chaos. Just waves, seashells, and golden sunsets.
December weather is mild enough for:

✔️ Sunrise beach walks
✔️ Dolphin spotting
✔️ Seashell hunting
✔️ Cozy photo sessions

Pro tip: mornings are crisp — bring a hoodie and hot cocoa.

2. Visit Botany Bay Plantation Heritage Preserve

Botany Bay turns magical in winter. The oak-lined roads? Straight out of a postcard.
Walk the trails, explore historic grounds, and visit the famous boneyard beach.

  • Free entrance (donations appreciated)

  • Perfect for photography & nature lovers

  • Great for kids and couples

Bring comfortable shoes — you’ll want to wander.


3. Edisto Island Serpentarium (if open for special winter hours)

During holidays they sometimes host limited winter weekends.
Kids love it — adults secretly do too.

Check hours online before you go. 🐍


4. Edisto Beach State Park Trails

December = cooler temps = better hiking weather.
Try:

🏕️ Scott Creek Trail
🌿 Spanish Mount Trail
🚴 Beachfront bike paths

Watch for birds, deer, and maybe a curious raccoon eyeing your snacks.


5. Holiday Events & Christmas on the Coast 🎄

Depending on the weekend, you may find:

✨ Local craft markets
✨ Oyster roast events
✨ Boat parades
✨ Christmas village pop-ups

Edisto during the holidays feels small-town festive — slow, sweet, meaningful.


6. Fresh Seafood Season is Strong in Winter

This is oyster time.

Where to eat:

🍤 Dockside Bar & Grill
🦪 Whaley’s Restaurant & Bar
🦞 The SeaCow Eatery

If you’re renting a house — grab oysters from a local market and host your own backyard roast.


7. Take a Day Trip to Charleston (1h away)

If you want history, carriage rides & holiday decorations — Charleston is full of it.
Spend the day, come back to your quiet beachfront haven at night. Best of both worlds.


8. Cozy Indoor Time – Books, Board Games & Soft Linens

December is all about slow living.
Light a candle, make hot tea, watch a movie with ocean wind outside. Pure bliss.
