The Atlantic Ocean beaches in the Murrells Inlet area are on the penensula extending south from Garden City Beach (Take Atlantic Avenue from US-17 Business to Waccamaw Drive. Turn right and you can follow it to the end which is Murrells Inlet (the boat navigation passage, not the town). There are no official public access points along Waccamaw Drive. There is, however, Huntington Beach State Park just south of Murrells Inlet.

From US-17 take Shell Road toward the ocean to Pawleys Drive which follows the beach. (Shell Road is just north of Pawleys Island Plaza.). There are no official public access points but there are several 'can-do' spots.  Watch where you park the car, though. We recommend you use the Huntington Beach State Park just north of here.

Huntington Beach State Park - Murrells Inlet SC

Huntington Beach is especially noted for five major features:

  1. the best preserved beach on the Grand Strand
  2. one of the finest birdwatching sites on the east coast
  3. site of the historic castle Atalaya
  4. Brookgreen Garden - the garden of sculptures.
  5. annual (in September) arts and crafts festival

In addition to its beautiful beach, there is a saltwater marsh teeming with wildlife, a freshwater lagoon and nature trails and a boardwalk to help you enjoy it with very little effort. And you don't have to be a 'bird watcher' to appreciate the beauty of all the feathered creatures, large and small, that seem to like it here better than anywhere else.

Atalaya is the former winter home of the internationally famous American sculptress Anna Hyatt Huntington. Brookgreen Garden, a formal garden reminiscent of the old English gardens but generously endowed with sculptures from many American artists (as well, of course, as Anna Hyatt Huntington) is just across the street.

Every September, a large portion of the art world (including many of the who's who) gather here for an arts and crafts festival. If you are an art lover you certainly do not want to miss this festival.

The Park is midway between Myrtle Beach and Georgetown (on US-17).

Park Hours in April through October are 6a - 10p (daily); November through March the park closes at 6p. Mailing address: Murrells Inlet, SC 29576. Phone: (803) 237-4440
