Myrtle Beach State Park, South Carolina

You won’t be camping on the sand at Myrtle Beach State Park, a remarkably green patch of land along the Grand Strand coastline. If the ocean comes calling, take in the beautiful views of the sea or check out the Myrtle Beach pier, an ideal spot for surf fishing. Nothing says South Carolina quite like a sunset over the Atlantic, but when you’re ready to escape the windy beach, just wander into the park’s endless green landscape, chock full of nature trails eager to show you their unique stands of oak-filled maritime forest. Myrtle Beach State Park is the beachy wilderness you didn’t know you were looking for, with a whole mile of undeveloped beach in this otherwise developed area. Pack the car with steak and get ready to catch some mackerel, because this place is surf n’ turf at its very best.
