| Walkers heading down the Pink Trail |
The annual Beach Walk to Beat Breast Cancer was a big success on Saturday, Sept. 2 despite a couple of glitches. The Edisto Belles organization raises money during this walk by having teams of walkers get sponsors. Tropical Storm Idalia rolled up the East Coast and visited Edisto Beach on the Wednesday before the walk, and certainly caused some beach erosion. The Wyndham Cabana on front beach is normally the Start / Finish Line for the Beach Walk, but it was damaged during the storm and could not be accessed. So the event was moved to 603 Palmetto Blvd. so that folks could gather together to register and to put on any pink accessories that the Belles provide. Also, a raffle is held from community donations.

At approximately 9 a.m. the walkers took Beach Access 6 to the front beach and followed a path laid out in pink. Pink signs, Pink flamingos, Pink necklaces, and even Pink bras lined the beach. The morning high tide was WAY up due to the influences fo Idalia and a full moon, so the beach was narrow, but the walkers got down and back the course with no issues. Sunny and hot weather in 2022, gave way to a much more temperate day in 2023 thanks to the backside breezes from Idalia. Leah Harrington was the 2023 Survivor Honoree for the Belles Beachwalk.
