Key Milestones

The "Friends" of Huntington Beach State Park came together to help in many ways; with only a handful of volunteers, trails were cleaned and repaired, other volunteers presented smiling faces and lead informative tours to hundreds of tourists from all over the world.

Preserving Park History

Huntington Beach State Park is also the site of one of the most unusual architectural buildings to be found in South Carolina; Moorish-inspired Atalaya, former winter home of Archer & Anna Hyatt Huntington. This unique structure is listed on the National Historic Register.Currently volunteers are wielding paint brushes at Atalaya; restoring 75 wrought iron grills to their original beauty. It now becomes a beautiful backdrop for many summer and fall weddings.

Friends Park

A local business donated time and supplies to construct the new Friends Display located at the entrance to the Education Center.
