Huntington Beach State Park

Serene State Beach Park

Description

Located south of Myrtle beach, down the coast near Brookgreen Gardens, is the magnificent Huntington Beach State Park. Known for not only its grand, beautiful beach, this State Park also offers some of the best bird watching on the East Coast. Spreading over 2,500 acres on the coast, Huntington is home to excellent camping, fishing, and coastal hiking trails. The pristine beach here is protected by the State Park and remains one of the state's favorites. Those interested in the local flora and fauna will enjoy the park's variety of ecosystems including a freshwater lagoon, salt marshes, and maritime forest. Special programs and events here are organized by the Park's Environmental Education Center. Also located here is Atalaya, the creative Moorish-architecture inspired home studio of sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, which is also a National Historic Monument. Full of beauty, natural wildlife, and even architectural attractions, Huntington Beach State Park is a serene beach getaway.
