Myrtle Beach State Park

Myrtle ⁠‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​⁠Beach State Park was South Carolina's first state park to open to the public, with a mile of beach, a fishing pier and one of the last stands of maritime forest on the Grand Strand. Rangers at the nature center run short animal programs, birding walks, night hikes and seasonal events such as photos with Santa.
