Shoals extend offshore from the entrance of the North Edisto River as much as 3 miles and form a shifting bar. Flats, which bare at low water and are continually changing in character, are on both sides of the entrance; caution is advised. In 1991, the reported controlling depth over the bar was 10 feet. The entrance is marked by a lighted whistle buoy, and the channel by a 314° lighted range and by buoys which are moved, when practicable, to indicate the best water. The entrance is well defined by breakers. A water tank about 1.7 miles northeastward of the entrance is prominent.
