Hunting Island is one of South Carolina's last undeveloped barrier islands accessible by road. It boasts white sand beaches, salt marshes, ancient forests, and abundant wildlife habitats, including nesting sites for threatened loggerhead sea turtles. Enjoy Hunting Island State Park and help us support the Park by becoming a Friend of Hunting Island.
