We are at Hunting Island State Park, just outside Beaufort, South Carolina. We love this park, built in the tall pines, with the beach nearby. We walked about a mile down the beach to the Hunting Island Lighthouse. We saw hundreds of trees, crusted with barnacles, lots of scallop shells, water birds and walked in the surf. We also went into Beaufort, a very old southern town, inhabited in the past and still today by those with money. While in Beaufort, we took a horse drawn carriage ride around the city and learned a lot about the city and it's history. Hilton Head is nearby and its the only city we have ever been to that you have to pay $5.00 to get admittance. Lots of shops , restaurants and a fake lighthouse.
