Hunting Island State Park: Parking South Beach

Hunting Island State Park: Parking South Beach is a public ocean beach in South Carolina, about 3 miles from Harbor Island. The land is managed by the S.C. Dept. of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, and this stretch of shore is the park's south beach parking access. The beach has restrooms, lifeguards and parking, and a fee is charged. For comfortable weather, spring and fall are the easiest seasons. Typical averages from the nearby Edisto Beach State Park weather station show October highs around 77°F, while July and August reach about 89°F with lows in the mid-70s. Several trails sit close by. Magnolia Forest Trail is about half a mile away, the Marsh Boardwalk Crossover Trail is just over a mile off, and the Lagoon Trail and Maritime Forest Trail are both roughly 1.7 miles from the lot.
