Myrtle Beach State Park is a 312-acre preserve in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, protecting one mile of undeveloped Atlantic shoreline, dunes, and maritime forest within a heavily built resort area. Established on land donated in 1934 and opened in 1936 as South Carolina’s first state park, it was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the New Deal, and several CCC buildings remain in use. The park’s natural features include sea oats, live oaks, southern magnolias, and a maritime forest recognized as a Heritage Trust Site, alongside trails, a nature center, camping, a fishing pier, and year-round coastal wildlife programs. In 2026, nearby water quality concerns drew attention after very high PFAS levels were reported in a tidal creek near the former air base.
