What travelers are saying
- EugennaBrazil, IN305 contributionsSo much to see and do in a small area. Our favorite thing was the "boneyard" beach. The beauty of the ocean reclaiming land here is something you have to see. A nature center with a pier over the water. The marsh boardwalk with the birds, water animals,and tiny crabs everywhere. Lighthouse and giftshop by the beach. A visitor center with a resident alligator out front. Multiple beach accesses. This is a piece of paradise.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kathleen W2 contributionsI have read, and reread, all of Mr. Conroy's books, so I was beyond excited to visit the museum and see the office here he wrote all of them, BY HAND, as well as some of his favorite books. I especially enjoyed the photos showing his time teaching on the island. The staff was full of interesting information. I recommend this very highly, even to those who may not yet have read his works. You will want to after visiting here!Written March 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- EugennaBrazil, IN305 contributionsWhat a wonderfully put together park. The kids playground with bathrooms right next to it is brilliant. The row of adult swings and benches all along the waterfront are wonderful to just sit a while and relax. The entire park is great.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sheri H5 contributionsVery nice and clean with cute restaurants and small business shopping. All the employees were so friendly. And the park with swings for relaxing watching people, birds boats on the water was a treat.Written March 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mike hMyrtle Beach, SC5 contributionsWe had a great time at Hunting Island State Park. The state park itself is beautiful and the lighthouse was amazing. The grounds are nicely kept and there is a nice gift shop that’s available that sells local items and vacation things.
Unfortunately, the lighthouse itself is closed on the inside, while the steps are apparently being refurbished for safety reasons. The volunteers there indicated they were also working on a observation deck to improve things for future visitors. We were told that it would open in 2025, but there was not a specific date given .Written February 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Such a somber and beautiful place to reflect.Written August 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carl HBeaufort, SC3 contributionsWhen in SC, don't miss St Helena Parish Anglican Church in Beaufort:
St Helena's Parish, established in 1712 in Beaufort SC, with the original church completion and first burial in the historic churchyard dating to 1724, is one of the oldest in SC. Importantly, St Helena continues as a vibrant and popular congregation and as a leader in a growing community.Written July 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a must visit destination. Take the walking tour, visit the islands, enjoy the beaches and stay awhile. The area is a treasure! We could spend days here and will definitely visit againWritten June 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charles MVirginia103 contributionsDuring a weekend visit to Beaufort, SC, trekked for the first time on the well-maintained, expertly crated, and stunningly scenic Beaufort Spanish Moss Trail. Entered at Mile 6 (behind the Publix with a well marked entrance) and walked into Beaufort's old town (departing the trail itself at Hermitage and then followed Ribaut up to Bay Street). Even in the heat of August, people were cordial, said hello, and were helpful with directions. Quite the treat seeing all the marsh birds, the darling homes, and the history way-sgins along the path. Walkers, runners, and bicyclists coexisted with ease. Next time, in cooler weather, we'll walk it all the way to Port Royal. Enjoy!Written August 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- William DLexington, SC40 contributionsWorth an hour or so of your time. Learned a lot about the area’s coastal water and some local history.
