June is Golf Cart Safety Month
At the May 14 monthly meeting, Town Council approved Proclamation 2026- P10, which designates June 2026 as Golf Cart Safety & Education Month.
Golf Cart Safety & Education Month has been observed over the past few years as there has been an observable increase of improper utilization of golf carts which, in some instances, have caused injuries. As well, the proper operation of golf carts in alignment with state laws and town ordinances is important for all individuals on Edisto Beach to remain safe and free from injury.
Police Chief Seyle and the Edisto Beach Police Department are committed to ensuring - through education and enforcement activities – that visitors and residents of Edisto Beach understand the importance in properly complying with all laws and ordinances.
Please remember that all golf cart drivers must be at least 16 years old and hold a valid driver’s license, as per SC law. Your golf cart must be registered with the SC Department of Motor Vehicles, and you must carry your registration, permit decal (including Town permit) and liability insurance while operating the golf cart. Children under the age of 12 are required to wear a fastened safety belt on public roadways.
Please be safe and be aware of individuals, vehicles, bicycles, and surroundings when operating golf carts in the Town of Edisto Beach.
Shred Day Wrap-Up

Town Council thanks the TIDE Committee for conceiving this idea last year. Special thanks to Municipal Clerk Donna Rizer who organized the event and to the Edisto Beach Volunteer Fire Department who assisted with the day’s activities, including Wendy Griffin, Allen Bridwell, David Ebert, Kate Hall, Larry Lindke, and Jeff Sira.
Wrapping up the school year at Jane Edwards Elementary Field Day
The Edisto Beach Fire Department participated in the May 20 Field Day at Jane Edwards Elementary School. It was a great day for the students, and the hot dogs grilled by our fire department members were a big hit.
