It’s a bar, with bar food, a large souvenir store, and a place called Pelican’s Pizza that you can order from the bar. I would go for the view and a drink. Food is what you would expect. They have live entertainment in a small venue on most weekends. Reviews are mixed quite often. We have been a few times and our service was great and we enjoyed ourselves.

Flowers Seafood Truck and Seafood Market: 843-869-0033 (6.6 miles from The Beach Ball)
https://flowersseafood.com. 1914 Hwy 174
This place is not to be missed; just a short 9 minute drive. The Flowers family have been commercially fishing and serving fresh, local seafood on Edisto Island for four generations. If you are getting prepared food from the food truck, be prepared to stand in line and eat outside under a covered area with picnic tables, in your car, or take it back to the house. Truth be told, it is 100% worth the wait. My favorite is their calamari. I call it carpool calamari because I get it and share it in my car with friends. The crab cakes, hushpuppies, and more are excellent. We purchased their medium raw shrimp inside the market and the price was better than anywhere else I have purchased from and they were delicious. They also will prepare things like low country boil for you to pick up. Check out their website for more details. Hours and days open are limited.Check before you go. Visit their restaurant,The Waterfront Resturant on the island on 136 Jungle Rd.

Opened to the public in July of 1999, the Edisto Island Serpentarium is a culmination of more than 50 years of snake hunting adventure and experience by brothers Ted and Heyward Clamp of Edisto Island, SC. The modern indoor facility and beautifully landscaped outdoor gardens house a wide variety of reptiles, mostly those collected by the Clamp brothers and native to the southeastern United States.
The reptiles in the outdoor gardens are not displayed behind glass but are viewed by visitors who look over low-walled enclosures to observe the snakes living in streams, climbing in trees or basking on stumps or logs exactly as they would be seen if encountered in the wild. The exhibit was purposely designed in this order hopefully to give visitors the same thrill and exhilaration which the Clamp brothers have enjoyed for years and still feel whenever they suddenly encounter a reptile in its natural habitat.
