One of the things that are great about vacationing in the Charleston area is the available fun things.  You’re in luck because Fort Sumter has officially opened to visitors, and they are open daily. While some of the park sites inside the fort will be closed, your family will still be able to explore the fort. Fort Sumter is approximately an hour from Edisto, but we promise that this is an experience like no other.

Learn to Surf

Another fun activity that your family can do together this 4th of July is learning to surf. Edisto Beach surf lessons are available and are suitable for all ages. They do offer a weeklong class for your family or kids to enjoy. In these lessons, you will learn how to ride your first wave to learning how to stand up on the surfboard. Think of the new memories that your family will make while learning to surf together.

Shelling Excursion

Do you have someone in the family who loves to collect shells? If you do, then why not schedule a Shelling Excursion with the family. On the day you do this excursion, you will be able to head over to Otter Island, which happens to be a family favorite. Please note that this fun adventure will take place only during low tide. Make sure to bring your own water (for drinking), towels, snacks, sunscreen, and bug spray. Also don’t forget to bring your phone, camera, and binoculars. What a fantastic way to spend the day with your family on this excursion!

While there are many other fun things your family can do this 4th of July, we wanted to share these. If you haven’t booked your next family vacation to stay in one of our Edisto vacation rentals, now is the time. We look forward to seeing your family as you celebrate the 4th of July in Edisto this year!
