The Edisto Marina on Big Bay Creek is located in the town of Edisto Beach, SC. Across the creek from Edisto Beach is an area of marshland. Edisto Beach is one of the most affluent communities in South Carolina and prides itself in family oriented atmosphere and gently developed beaches. There are many opportunities on the island to relax at the beach or go visit a park. The area is also home to the Edisto Beach State Park which has many campsites along the water as well as an education center and ranger station. The island also has a few restaurants that specialize in seafood.
A marina about 0.3 mile above the creek entrance on the south side has transient berths, gasoline, diesel fuel, pump-out, water, ice, and supplies.
