Huntington Beach State Park is a charming coastal preserve near Murrells Inlet, located within Georgetown County. The preserve and park are known for their spacious sandy Grand Strand beach, which is known as one of South Carolina's most recognizable natural landmarks. Visitors can enjoy opportunities for swimming, surf fishing, and sea-breeze camping throughout the year, along with excellent opportunities for birdwatching.

The 1930s-era Moorish-style Atalaya Castle, which was formerly home to the park's namesake family, is showcased on guided tours throughout the summer months. Visitors can also stroll along the lovely Sandpiper Pond Nature Trail and the Kerrigan Nature Trail, which traverse lagoons and ponds and are home to picturesque boardwalks. Each September, the Atalaya Castle hosts the juried Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival.
