Huntington Beach State Park was formerly the home of Archer and Anna Hyatt Huntington, but it's now a 2500-acre state park and coastal reserve that welcomes anyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful nature of Murrells Inlet. The park is an excellent nature-watching destination; more than 300 species of birds have been spotted here, and there is a Nature Center that offers the opportunity to see live animals and learn about the area's wildlife. The park is also still home to the Huntington home, which can be explored by guided tour and features exhibits about the history of the Huntingtons and the house.
