Huntington Beach State Park is one of South Carolina’s most treasured coastal ecosystems. Located just south of Murrells Inlet, this protected area is home to pristine beaches, salt marshes, freshwater lagoons, and diverse wildlife—including migratory birds, alligators, and nesting sea turtles.

Despite its protected status, pollution continues to impact the shoreline. Ocean currents, tourism, and human activity bring plastic waste and debris into this fragile environment every day.

Ocean Blue Project invites you to be part of the solution. Through organized beach cleanups, volunteer programs, and community partnerships, we are working to protect Huntington Beach State Park—and we need your help.

Why Huntington Beach State Park Cleanups Matter

Even the most beautiful and protected coastlines are not immune to pollution. Plastic debris, fishing line, cigarette butts, and microplastics accumulate along the beach and surrounding ecosystems, posing serious risks to wildlife and water quality.

At Huntington Beach State Park, this impact is especially critical due to its ecological importance.

Key Environmental Concerns

  • Sea turtles nesting along the shoreline
  • Shorebirds feeding and migrating through the park
  • Marine life ingesting plastic debris
  • Microplastics contaminating the food chain

Without regular cleanup efforts, debris breaks down into smaller particles that are nearly impossible to remove.

The Impact of Cleanups

  • Remove harmful debris before it degrades
  • Protect wildlife habitats and nesting areas
  • Improve water quality and ecosystem health
  • Preserve the natural beauty of the park
