Edisto & Kiawah Islands

Spent the morning on the beach.  Nice breeze kept it from getting hot.  The beach is narrow here.  The sand is darker and a bit more course than the white fine sand of the Gulf Coast.  But typical of the Carolinas.

In the afternoon, we drove over to Kiawah to see our friends Susan & Trey.  Nice drive through the Lowcountry.  It is only 12 miles from Edisto as the crow flies, but 53 miles by car!  The rivers, marshes, estuaries cut through most of the area in this part of South Carolina.  A shortage of bridges makes travel from one beach to another a matter of driving inland before one can find a bridge across to the next peninsula or island.  We enjoyed our visit and dinner overlooking a gulf coast with the Atlantic Ocean right behind the green.  Really pretty place!

Love the swirling fronds of this Palm adjacent to our rental.
