The sunrise might be even better over the beach in the Fall… but you have to see it to believe it 😍

Did you know that today is National South Carolina Day? 🌴
Make time to get out and celebrate our state`s natural beauty, history, and charm on Edisto! We`d recommend grabbing some boiled peanuts from The HAPPIE Truck or snacking on collard greens at one of our local restaurants, like The Briny Swine. 😋

“The Most Photographed Road in SC: Botany Bay Rd at Botany Bay Plantation, Edisto Island.
The last time I was there was close to 20 years ago, shortly after I first arrived the first time in SC. What a wonderful drive in to the plantation, as all roads are covered in `live` oak trees (live oak trees do not lose their leaves in winter as opposed to regular oak trees). It was a wonderful drive from Charleston to Edisto Islan. Will do it again before I leave for the Keys.” Sharon Jones

📍 Tortuga’s Mexican Grill - 114 Jungle Road, Suite E - Edisto Island, SC
Tortuga’s Mexican Grill is a fast-casual Mexican restaurant that opened in Edisto Island, South Carolina in May 2019. It was founded by husband and wife Chris & Sheila Porzuczek. Originally from Colorado, the Porzuczeks relocated to Edisto Island while searching for a slower-paced life and warmer weather. One thing they noticed right away was that the island did not have a Mexican restaurant. They decided to become restaurateurs and brought the first Mexican restaurant to the area. Depending on the season, Tortuga’s offers breakfast, lunch and dinner to their clientele. The menu offers locally-sourced Mexican fare: a tribute to Chris’s Mexican heritage. Everything from the guacamole to the tortillas, salsas and homemade hot sauces are made fresh and daily in house. The restaurant is also eco-friendly. The Porzuczeks use potato-based cutlery, plant-based straws and compostable packaging.
My family and I visited Tortuga’s for dinner this past summer while we were on a road trip. Edisto Island is a small beach community with only a handful of restaurants. We were excited when we heard that there was a good Mexican restaurant not far from our hotel. The place is small with only a limited amount of seating. Fortunately we arrived just before the big dinner crowd. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the “Shrimp Burrito” (local shrimp, black bean corn salsa, rice, cheddar jack cheese, lettuce, sour cream, homemade pork green chile, mild sauce) my wife ordered the “Black Bean Tostadas” (2 fried corn tortillas topped with guacamole, black beans, peppers & onions, cilantro, queso fresco & sour cream, side of rice, lettuce & pico), and our older son ordered the “Chicken Quesadilla” off of the Kids’ Menu. We also ordered the “Nachos Gordo” (with carnitas) for the table to share. Everything was so authentic, delicious and fresh-tasting! This was also the first time our older son tasted nachos and he’s a fan now. He was asking for nachos on the rest of our road trip. We all had an excellent experience at Tortuga’s and we highly recommend them to people visiting Edisto Island! 🇲🇽🌮🌯
