We also camped a few days at Edisto Beach in South Carolina during spring break. It is actually a protected estuary, therefore, there is not a lot of development there. One interesting thing we learned about was the threatened loggerhead turtles (South Carolina's state reptile) . They lay their eggs on the beach every summer and when ready, the babies swim out to sea. In years past they would get confused and follow the lights from the beach homes, end up on the streets, and possibly get ran over by a car. Therefore the island has a very strict light ordinance. Hopefully we will get back there during the summer to see the little turtles swim out to sea.
Enjoy the Video of Scooter swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. Scooter's claim to fame is that he has swam in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Which one will he conquer next?
