Dan Weemhoff (dwhike) > Hunting Island Light - Stairs - For a $2 fee(in 2006) anyone over 44" tall can climb the 176 winding steps to the top of the Hunting Island Light. Its a climb!
Dan Weemhoff (dwhike) > Hunting Island Light - 2nd Order Lens - This is the original 2nd-Order Fresnel Lens used in the Hunting Island Light. It is now housed at the base of the tower.
Dan Weemhoff (dwhike) > Hunting Island Lighthouse - The present Hunting Island Light began service in 1875, replacing an earlier light destroyed during the Civil War. It stands 136 feet tall and once housed a 2nd Order Fresnel Lens. The white picket fence surrounds the original grounds. The brick foundations are all that is left of the original keeper and fog signal buildings but two renovated outbuildings are open to tour. For a small fee ($2 in 2006) you can climb the tower for stunning views of Hunting Island and the Atlantic Coast.

Dan Weemhoff (dwhike) > Hunting Island State Park - Located about 20 minutes from Beaufort, this is a place I want to go spend some more time at. The park boasts a huge palm-lined beach(seen here), campground, a nature center, and a beautiful lighthouse. I wasn't suprised when I later read it was one of the most popular parks in all South Carolina.
