HUNTING ISLAND STATE PARK

Hunting Island is South Carolina’s single most popular state park, attracting more than a million human visitors a year.

Also attracted to the semi-tropical barrier island is an array of wildlife, ranging from loggerhead sea turtles to painted buntings, barracudas to sea horses, alligators, pelicans, dolphins and deer, raccoons, Eastern diamondback rattlesnakes and even the rare coral snake.

What they all enjoy is five miles of beach, thousands of acres of marsh, tidal creeks and maritime forest, a saltwater lagoon and ocean inlet. Amenities include a fishing pier and some of the state’s most desirable campsites.

Adding to the natural history of the big park is a piece of man-made history: South Carolina’s only publicly accessible historic lighthouse. Dating from the 1870s, the Hunting Island Lighthouse shoots 170 feet into the air, giving those who scale its heights a breathtaking view of the sweeping Lowcountry marshland and the Atlantic Ocean.

• The park is listed on the National Register.
• Counties: Beaufort
• Acreage: 5000

Significant Natural Features:

Hunting Island is always changing. Migrating creatures in air and sea come and go with the seasons, and the natural forces of erosion constantly re-shape the island.In addition to some 3,000 acres of salt marsh and more than four miles of beach, a large lagoon, created by sand dredging in 1968, has become a natural wonderland and home to such unexpected species as seahorses and barracuda.

The park’s upland areas contain one of the state’s best examples of semi-tropical maritime forest, ancient sand dunes now dominated by such vegetation as slash pines, cabbage palmetto (the state tree) and live oak.

Animal visitors include loggerhead turtles, which nest on the island in the summer months. On dry land and in and around freshwater ponds can be found deer and alligators, raccoons and even eastern diamondback rattlesnakes.

It may not be the first state that comes to mind when you think of beach vacations, but South Carolina beaches are great destinations for family vacations or a romantic getaway. Here are our favorite South Carolina beaches:

Beaufort Dating Beach Webcam

Kiawah
With 10 miles of undisturbed Atlantic beach and five world-renowned golf courses, it's no wonder so many visitors come to Kiawah (pronounced KEE-a-wah) Island. Much of Kiawah Island is privately owned, but Beachwalker Park is open to the public and operated by Charleston County. Named for an Indian tribe, Kiawah is only 21 miles from historic Charleston and offers a variety of recreation and lodging accommodations. Canoe through marsh-lined creeks and waterways; play tennis at the two Kiawah tennis centers, ranked among the top tennis resorts in the U.S. With a variety of restaurants, shopping at the Straw Market and special children's programs, Kiawah Island is one of the best South Carolina beaches for family vacations.

Pawley's Island
If you've never visited Pawley's Island, you're missing out on one of the best kept secrets on the Atlantic Ocean. The island is a three-mile stretch of paradise with a long and storied past dating back to the early 1700's (there are still 12 residences in the historic district, which date from the late 1700's to the mid 1800's). Located 70 miles north of Charleston and 25 miles south of Myrtle Beach, Pawley's Island is known for its shoeless, carefree, laid-back lifestyle, which includes crabbing in the adjacent creeks, fishing, the stories of ghosts, the rope hammocks and the unspoiled, unsophisticated, casual, delightful stretch of wide beach and sand dunes. It is bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by a salt marsh with an almost limitless supply of flounder, oysters, and crabs. It is one of the few unspoiled, non-commercial oceanfront communities remaining on the east coast of the United States.

Fripp Island
Situated about 20 miles from Beaufort, South Carolina's most beautiful barrier island is the perfect haven for families and golfers alike. With two of the highest ranked golf courses in America and 3½ miles of uncrowded, unspoiled beaches, Fripp Island offers a beach experience you'll remember always. Renowned for its resort amenities and natural conservation, visitors will love the natural beauty of this South Carolina beach. More than 175 species of birds abound here. You'll see deer running free, porpoises swimming in the inlet and an occasional alligator sunning along the banks of the lakes and lagoons. Savannah is approximately a 75 minutes drive by car, while Charleston is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes away.

Folly Beach
Nestled between the Folly River and the Atlantic Ocean, just fifteen minutes from downtown Charleston, the barrier island of Folly Beach truly offers you the best of both worlds. Locals refer to this charming South Carolina beach town as the 'Edge of America.' The eastern tip of the islands affords outstanding views of the Morris Island Lighthouse from one of its three county parks. Visitors may catch sight of loggerhead turtles nesting, dolphins playing and see bald eagles soaring in the sky. Folly is home to many endangered species and islanders do their part in protecting and encouraging their continued success. Folly Beach's surfing is some of the best on the east coast and Folly hosts a number of surf events throughout the year.
