Edisto Gets New Fishing Pier
Set to open in just a couple of weeks, a new fishing pier at the Steamboat Landing on Edisto Island replaces a wooden pier that had been closed for a year.
The new fishing pier at Steamboat Landing features sustainable aluminum decking, wood composite railings, concrete pilings, and is now ADA-compliant – allowing for anglers in wheelchairs.
The pier stretches into 22-feet deep waters on Steamboat Creek.

The pier’s replacement was made possible by the Shore-Based Saltwater Fishing Access Grant from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Grant funds were made possible through the sale of saltwater fishing licenses.
The Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC) will host a grand-reopening ceremony for the Steamboat Landing fishing pier on Friday, February 8 at 11:00 a.m.
Steamboat Landing is located at Steamboat Landing Road on Edisto Island. Free for public use, is one of 19 landings in the Charleston area managed by the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission.
