Horseback riding in South Carolina State Parks is a longtime favorite activity.

At Hunting Island State Park, you and your horse will find over four miles of coastal beach with breathtaking views, soft sand and ocean breezes. We recommend consulting the Tide Table as your best riding experience will be at low tide. Riding at Hunting Island Beach is available December, January and February, each year, and a permit is required. See below for rules and regulations.
