Hunting Island State Park, Nature reserve in Beaufort, United States.
Hunting Island State Park spans 5000 acres along the Atlantic coast with white sand beaches, maritime forests, and salt marshes for outdoor activities.
The original lighthouse from 1859 required reconstruction in 1875 following its destruction during the Civil War and moved inland due to erosion.
The Nature Center presents educational programs about regional marine life and ecosystems through exhibits and guided activities for all visitors.
The park operates daily from 6 AM to 6 PM, with extended hours until 9 PM during Daylight Saving Time, and charges entrance fees.
The 167-step lighthouse features interchangeable cast-iron sections, making it possible to disassemble and relocate when necessary.
