Visitors to Edisto Beach are almost always surprised to find out the Edisto Beach State Park has a lot to offer at the Interpretive Center located at 8377 State Cabin Road.
For instance, have you ever wondered what the greatest danger is in the ocean? You might be thinking sharks (or, if you’re like me, you’re thinking about the jellyfish that sting you every single year).
Curious about the dining habits of marine life? You might be surprised to see what some of those critters eat.
For those of you interested in Edisto’s creepiest residents? You’ll learn all about the world of alligators, snakes, lizards and turtles.
The State Park also offers some interesting information about jellyfish. For instance, many people come to the beach year after year and never encounter these creatures, while others manage to get stung time after time. Did you know some don’t sting at all? What about the fact that some sea turtles think jellyfish are delicious? Everything you ever wanted to know about these creatures can be found here.
The State Park is one of the most incredible resources Edisto Island offers its residents and visitors. It provides a look into the history of the island and teaches generations about the importance of preserving the Edisto way of life so that we can continue to enjoy it for years to come.
