The couple of places we could access were the main building, the beach and Atalaya Castle. The main parking lot gives you access to the beach, castle, trails, and main building. There is a gift shop at the building and a small trail right behind it.
The trail is short and runs to a pavilion on the lake. It's a short trail and very easy, this was the only trail open at the time.
The pavilion is nice and goes out into the lake a little. You get a good view of the local wildlife as well as Myrtle Beach.
Next to the gift shop is Atalaya Castle, this is well preserved and really neat. It does cost a few dollars extra to tour, but well worth it!If you visit this state park make sure you take the tour!
Of course you have to spend some time on the beach if you go to this park!
With all there is to see and learn here this park is really worth a visit. What we did see of the trails were well maintained and informative. As always I ended up with way more pictures than room, so be sure to scroll down past this to see a few more pictures. Be sure to read the rest of this blog to see our other state park adventures and then visit our website to see the pictures that didn't make it in the blog and in higher (Blog pics are reduced quality to help with space/load times) resolution.
