A sweeping Grand Strand beach, pristine and wide open, makes Huntington Beach State Park, SC, one of the most recognizable South Carolina landmarks. Visitors can enjoy sea-breeze camping, some of the finest surf fishing in South Carolina, and exceptional bird-watching along the East Coast. Beyond its natural beauty, Huntington Beach State Park SC is home to iconic attractions such as Atalaya, the Moorish-style winter residence of philanthropist Archer Huntington and sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, whose legacy also includes the adjacent Brookgreen Gardens. Nature enthusiasts can explore diverse programming, spot loggerhead turtles and other endangered species, and observe alligators in the park’s freshwater lake. Each September, art lovers gather for the renowned Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival held in and around this historic home.
