Our focus at Botany Bay Ecotours is to provide content-rich programs that have a low impact on the property. The only way to access the 3+ miles of undeveloped beach on Botany Bay is to walk the 0.5 mile causeway to the beach. We offer tours at Botany Bay and on Edisto Island.

Walking Tours: Our walking tours follow the causeway and allow you to explore the connections between the salt marsh, maritime and beach communities and their connections to us. At the end of the tour, you are free to explore the beach at your leisure. Bring a picnic and stay awhile.
$15 for adults, $10 for children under 16. 1 hour
