Nature lovers will enjoy the park’s Environmental Education Center and the chance to see loggerhead turtles, alligators, eagles and other endangered plant and animal species up close. The park’s freshwater lake along the causeway is a sure-fire place to see alligators basking in the sun, a variety of bird species and maybe even a mink or two.
Known for its natural beauty, Huntington Beach State Park was the former winter home of Anna Hyatt and Archer Huntington, sculptress and philanthropist, respectively, who left the park and adjacent Brookgreen Gardens as their legacy. There’s also Atalaya, the picturesque, Moorish-style castle which was their residence and sculpting studios. This tour is around two hours in length with training.
