Located in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, near the world renowned Brookgreen Gardens, this oceanfront state park offers camping, fishing, coastal hiking trails and general access to three miles of remote, unspoiled beach.

Huntington Beach State Park is also the site of the Spanish-style castle Atalaya, former winter home and studio of noted American sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington.

Huntington Beach offers its visitors the best preserved beach on the Grand Strand.
