Hunting Island

Ah, what a nice beach! This is Hunting Island, SC. Unlike spots like Myrtle Beach and Hilton Head, this island is almost undeveloped; most of it is a state park. Here are four miles of beach that, as you can see, isn't very crowded. I imagine it's busier on a warm summer afternoon; this was a crisp fall day with temps in the mid 60s; but still, there's plenty of room to roam.
I suppose there are advantages to more crowded beaches; for example, at Manly in Oz, there are many fine sheilas to add to the ambience. But overall, this is my kind of beach where an old sloat can rest his flippers, read, doze, and generally sloat out. Found a few shells here too.
The state park has cottages you can rent that are right on the beach, part of an old style ramshackle beach community. This would be nice to do some day.
