of St. Mary’s, this 18-mile stretch is largely uninhabited and home to rolling sand dunes and wild roaming horses.

This protected paradise (which you
can only get to via seaplane or ferry) allows just 60,000 visitors a year to marvel at its beauty.
You’ll need to consult the tide tables when planning your visit, as the off-the-beaten-path nature of Secret Beach is a major part of the appeal.
Immaculately preserved since the beginning of the 20th century, Edisto Island blends solitude and
unspoiled scenery.
Where else can you find both freshwater & saltwater beaches, cinematic cliffs, glacial striations dating back to the Ice Age & endless hiking trails?
This 37-mile barrier island & nature sanctuary is home to Wild Beach, reachable only on foot or by boat and nearly completely empty.
The perfect place to explore the beauty of the Atlantic coastline—as well as enjoy some well-deserved R&R.
Heads up: the hike to the beach will test your fitness but this beach totally delivers all the scenic charisma you’d expect sans the tourists.
