Edisto Beach occupies the narrow coastal shelf of Edisto Island, bordered by the expansive Atlantic Ocean and the winding channels of the South Carolina Lowcountry. This coastal landscape is defined by the convergence of the South Edisto River and the South Edisto Inlet, which separate the mainland reaches from barrier features like Pine Island and the prominent Bay Point. The residential street grid of the beach community is clearly delineated, showing established corridors such as Battery Park Rd and Fairway Dr tucked behind the tidal marshes of Big Bay Creek and Scott Creek. Because the majority of this survey covers the open waters of the Atlantic, it serves as a precise record of the shoreline and inlet morphology at the beginning of the 2010s.
