Hunting Island is the largest of a cluster of barrier islands that once served as hunting preserves of wealthy planter families. The 4-mile-long island now is a state park, with marsh along the west side, Atlantic Ocean on the east, and dense maritime forest in between. The forest is made of yucca, palmetto, pine and wild magnolia. Near the north end of the island is a lighthouse, while the south end is home to a nature center and fishing pier. This is our destination for a few days of R&R.
