Pockoy Island's New Inlet From Townsend's Creek 12 X 16"

One must find Botany Bay Road off of Hwy 174 on Edisto Island and travel to its end; then veer left into the preserve. There is a parking area for tourists. Frequently, turkey and deer are seen in the fields here. Tour the grounds and then head out the path towards the ocean.
