Hunting Island State Park is frequently recommended by travel experts—Travel + Leisure calls it one of the Southeast’s best-kept secrets for nature lovers. Just under three hours from Columbia, this protected barrier island is run by the state and prized for its wild, undeveloped beaches, historic lighthouse, and miles of maritime forest trails. There are no chain hotels or tourist traps here—just a beachside campground, a nature center, and a vibrant local ecosystem. The park’s commitment to conservation and local stewardship makes it a favorite for families and adventurers alike.
