Hunting Island State Park, State park in Beaufort County, United States.
The 5,000-acre barrier island features white sand beaches, dense maritime forest, and a lagoon system along the South Carolina coast.
The cast iron lighthouse, constructed in 1859 and reconstructed in 1875 after the Civil War, was moved inland in 1889 due to erosion.
The Nature Center exhibits local wildlife and provides educational programs about the coastal ecosystems of South Carolina throughout the year.
Visitors can access the park daily from 6 AM until 6 PM, with extended hours until 9 PM during Daylight Saving Time.
Hurricane Matthew caused significant changes to the landscape in 2016, transforming the shoreline and resulting in a $5 million restoration project.
