This is a beautifully maintained state park. We went for the beach on July 3rd. Of course, everyone else did, but that added to the enjoyment. It is a very family oriented beach. Absolutely not one single store, condo, hotel or building to destroy the natural environs. The parking is right next to the beach, in the wooded area, and... more

Great beach and no crowds. My wife and I go here every year for 5 years now and have never been disappointed. Drive from Beaufort is easy and peaceful. I put this place and Edisto Beach State Park in the same category: great for families without all the crowds! more

I wanted to add that the beach itself is the grand finale but getting there is an enjoyable ride. As you drive along the intercostal roads and bridges you get to see people fishing off the peirs, shrimp boats, beautiful scenery, all kinds of neat vegetation, a house out in the middle of an inlet with no road going to... more

We found it to be very nice, but the undertow in the ocean almost made me a widow!! My husband and daughter finally made it out!! What a scare!! This was many years ago, but its still a terror in my mind!! more

In all of my 52 years of beach going, Hunting Island ranks right up there with Edisto Beach, outside of Charleston. My family has been going to Hunting Island every year since my Mom and Dad were kids! If you like... more

Wow. We were impressed with Hunting Island State Park. The beach is amazing and the surf recedes incredibly far. You can walk forever along the shoreline. The kids had a blast searching for (and finding) shark's teeth. Just look for triangle shapes as the surfs goes out. They are abundant. There were shells and sand dollars to be gathered. We... more

This barrier island is sparse, no casino, no putt-putt golf, but what a beautiful pristine beach. Walk for hours and unwind. Here's a funny tale of a day at this beach [--] more

My husband and I were stationed in Beafort, SC during his recall. We went to Hunting Island every chance we got. The beach is not like the bustling Hilton Head beach. It is a nice secluded, quiet beach. Perfect for picnics and lounging. The scenery is beyond compare. Driving through the same wooded area where they filmed the Vietnam scenes... more
