| State Park Overview: |
| Huntington Beach offers its visitors the best preserved beach on the Grand Strand.
The park?s freshwater lagoon, saltmarsh, maritime forest and beach are outstanding examples of the state?s natural coastal environment. These also provide such prime habitat for birds that the park is widely recognized as one of the best birding sites along the East Coast.
Huntington Beach is also the site of the historic ?Atalaya? castle. The former winter home and studio of noted American sculptress, Anna Hyatt Huntington, and her husband, Archer Milton Huntington, Atalaya is also listed as a National Historic Landmark. |

Loved the Wildlife
We had a wonderful time on the beach, but the wildlife is astounding! Alligators were so easy to sight and get pictures of. Our kids had a ball!!!

A Little Bit of Everything
We spent a week camping here and have already made reservations for next year. Walk to the beach, bike, hike, explore nature. Wildlife is truly exciting- gators, birds, crabs, deer- a photographers dream.
