July 17-20

Each year the South Carolina Governor’s Cup Billfishing Series hosts its final leg on Edisto Beach. The tournament is designed to promote the state’s bill fishing tournament industry, increase coastal tourism, and encourage the conservation of ocean resources through the tagging and release of billfish.

The Edisto leg begins on Wednesday with a Captain’s Meeting. All boats that enter the tournament get to choose 2 out of 3 available days to fish: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. There is a daily weigh-in from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at The Marina at Edisto Beach.

Each evening after the weigh-in there is live music and family fun next to the Marina at Bay Creek Park.

For more information about the Tournament visit SCDNR’s website and the Edisto Chamber of Commerce Event Calendar.

Free movie night typically on the 2nd Wednesday of each month June-September at Bay Creek Park! The movie starts around dusk and the gates open an hour before that. Bring your own chairs and blankets. Free popcorn and food/ice cream are available for purchase. Stay tuned for the movie line-up.

2024 Turtle Tide Art Auction: Saturday, October 12th

How do they find their forever home?

A Turtle Auction (in conjunction with our Fall Festival) is held in October where all 10 turtles will be auctioned off! All of the money raised for each turtle will be donated to their designated non-profit. Join the fun and you might even take home your favorite turtle!

Turtle Tide Guide

We have created an interactive Turtle Tide Guide to accompany the project! Once the turtles are in place, the guide will help you discover all ten of the turtles around Edisto, learn more about the project, and why protecting Edisto’s turtles is so important. You will be able to click on each turtle to open their locations on Google Maps or download your very own copy for reference.

You can find physical copies of the guides at the Edisto Chamber of Commerce or at each sponsor location for the turtles.

Here are the 2024 Turtles!

If you find all 10 turtles and take a picture with each one, tagging it #EdistoTurtleTide, you will have a chance to win a prize! You can also email your photos to chamber@edistochamber.com or message us through our Facebook or Instagram pages.
