MYRTLE BEACH STATE PARK
Located in the heart of the Grand Strand, Myrtle Beach State Park is one of the most popular public beaches along the South Carolina coast.
This 312-acre oceanfront park plays a major role in preserving and maintaining a portion of the natural heritage of South Carolina's coastline.
This traditional state park was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and has the distinction of being the first state park open to the public in South Carolina.
Myrtle Beach State Park includes a campground, cabins, nearly a mile of beach, picnic areas, a fishing pier and nature center.
In addition, a nature trail provides a rare opportunity to see one of the last stands of maritime forest on the northern coast of South Carolina.
Because of this distinction, the forest has been declared a Heritage Trust Site.
South Carolina offers a variety of Park Passports. You can read more about the South Carolina Park Passports and order online by visiting the
