We spent the day here and would go back again. Welcome center has exquisite hand painted murals that are a treasure. Enjoyed an awesome, long walk on the beach with a peaceful and quiet setting. Not a busy beach so a nice pleasure for us. We stopped in to the lighthouse area to meet great docents, Mark and Sharon who were a wealth of knowledge about the history of the structure and its ancestry. Also well informed about lighthouses in general and history. Wonderful folks! We thought an $8/pp entry fee is a small investment to support a special place.

My husband and I went here one afternoon in March with our dog. The cost was $8 per person, and you just leave the money in an envelope and place it in the box. There were restrooms near the parking lot in the Nature Center. We walked the Nature Scenic trail, which led to the beach. Most of the path was gravel, and there was a wooden bridge to walk over. The beach was beautiful! It was misting and overcast that day and the no-see-ums were terrible.

We had the best day at the Beach and exploring around the Lighthouse! We were there in the off season so parking wasn’t an issue, but I can see where it would be during the height of the season. There are restrooms at the North beach/lighthouse end. The beach is beautiful! Several shells, but not a wide variety on the day we were there. There’s an admission price for the state park, but lots of condo owners provide a pass for their guests.

This is by far my favorite place to camp. We stayed at the Rustic tents and fell asleepto the ocean at night. It's lovely. Beautiful beaches, a lighthouse, and great hiking trails. The staff are so kind. I even had to have a Park Ranger jump off my car upon leaving. Though the campground was busy, it didn't seem loud or overwhelming. We had a full pink moon, which added beauty at night over the ocean. We want to return soon!!!

We visited here after attending the Marine Graduation and it did not disappoint. The beach was wide with very little people on it. Though the light house was closed we still had a fun time. Came upon it by accident and was very nice and clean. Lovely views.

Hunting Island was unlike any landscape I had ever seen. The maritime forest of palms and pines was stunning. The forest, marsh, and beach supported a wide variety of birds. One of the highlights was locating a bald eagle's nest and observing feeding time. The admission fee is reasonable for the activities available. One of my favorite park experiences in any state.

This is a great State Park. Loved the area on the beach that locals call "the boneyard". This is where beautiful pieces of driftwood are located along the beach. Makes a great place to take pictures. The beach is very clean. The Visitor's Center is quite small and the Nature Center and Lighthouse were not opened due to renovations, but we were able to go out on the board walk. We were there on a Saturday morning and it was not crowded at all; however, as we were leaving, many people we driving in after lunch. So glad we were there in the a.m.

I came to this park to see the lighthouse. I am glad I did. It is so beautiful. I also took some time to walk the beach. It is worth checking out once. Nice area around the lighthouse to check out and, of course, the beach! Enjoy!

We love this state park. Because we have the yearly park pass, we get in for free. Go early on a weekend, or you may be stuck in a line along the road, waiting to get in. They only let a certain number of cars in. They did a great job refurbishing the beach after the hurricane a few years ago. They built up the dunes, so now there isn’t any shade on the beach. You may want to bring your own umbrella or shade screen. The lighthouse is currently closed for renovations.

This is a must see! We went later in the afternoon but, I could have explored it all day long. So peaceful, beautiful trees, a great beach, a gorgeous lighthouse and, an ALLIGATOR. I had never seen one in the wild so, I was excited! If you are in the Beaufort area, this park a must see.
