Huntington Beach State Park is an oceanfront state park, with a fresh water lagoon, salt marsh and overall, achingly beautiful nature preserve that anyone can visit for a meager fee during the summer months, or for free on a rainy Tuesday in February. Wow, it was beautiful!
Calm, quiet and filled with birds of all kinds, a few intrepid RV campers tucked privately into a thickly treed campground and me!
The Park is widely recognized as one of the best birding sites along the East Coast. I'm not much into birds, personally, but it's hard not to be impressed when you see so many different varieties, quite happily enjoying their natural habitat, which in this case, is 2,500 acres of native flora and fauna. There are lots of observation decks and walking trails and even a bike path. Even in today's rain, there was a majesty quite unmatched by anything I've seen before. Except in Scotland, perhaps, in the mists there.
Aren't the older trees of the Carolinas magnificent?

I have to say that I really enjoy reading the localism posts and learning about other parts of this country that I have never visited (and that's a lot of parts). The parks are especially interesting to me as I'm not much of a city person.
