Spent 3 days here at Hunting Island State Park, enjoying the perfect weather and a terrific campground. Two years ago when we were last here, we had a primo campsite right by the ocean....well it was primo until the full moon high tide forced us to seek higher ground. So this time, we camped inland just a bit with only a 100 yard walk to the beach.
Biking is the best activity for this island. During low tide, the sandy beaches of packed sand make a perfect bike ride between the driftwood (or should we say drift trees?). This part of South Carolina is loosing 15 feet of beach annually, shrinking the shoreline. There are also great biking trails through the woods, following the lagoon, and to the lighthouse.
Also got to use our new binoculars checking out the Bald Eagles, the Osprey, and the many shore birds. Hunting Island gets our 5 star recommendation for camping...especially in March.
