Made it here last night after a wonderful week in Charleston. Finished up our Charleston stay with another visit to our friend's Sandy and Dave, as they were on Spring Break, in Edisto Island.
We visted Botany Bay
Plantation – Wildlife Management Area while we were there and you better
check it out before it disappears! Botany Bay
plantation is, not so slowly, being swallowed up by the Atlantic Ocean. Built
on the remains of a former rice plantation, this Wildlife Management Area does
triple duty as that, an historical interpretive center, and unique beach access. We had a ball driving and strolling the
grounds, walking the beach and enjoying the pelicans and bottlenose dolphins,
as well as the unique landscape that it presents with dead or dying live oaks,
palmetto, and cedar trees as the sea gradually reclaims the land there. Beautiful shells line the beach as well, but
are off-limits to collecting so leave everything as you found it! An extensive fold-out brochure and map aid
the visitor in interpreting the history of the various sites across this
sprawling property. Watch out for the
muddy ruts on the drive in, if they’ve been having recent rains as was our
case.
