Huntington Beach State Park, Coastal nature reserve in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
The 2500-acre park includes salt marshes, freshwater lakes, and a three-mile beach along the Atlantic Ocean with abundant wildlife observation points.
The land belonged to philanthropist Archer Huntington and sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington before becoming a state park through a lease agreement in 1960.
The Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival takes place each September in the park, featuring regional artists displaying their works around the Moorish-style castle.
The park maintains 173 camping sites with electricity and water connections, plus several marked trails for hiking and wildlife observation throughout the grounds.
The park hosts more than 300 bird species throughout the year, making it one of the premier bird-watching locations on the South Carolina coast.
