South Carolina’s Myrtle Beach State Park on the Grand Strand

Behind the gates of Myrtle Beach State Park is a look at the Grand Strand when it was a remote stretch of quiet beach and forest. The first South Carolina state park to open to the public in 1936, the 312-acre park includes a campground, cabins and apartments, picnic tables, shelters, a fishing pier, nature center, and of course, the beach. Myrtle Beach State Park is also home to a 100-acre strand of maritime forest, one of the last examples of its kind in Horry County that allows visitors a close-up look at a forest by the sea.
