Huntington Beach offers its visitors the best preserved beach on the Grand Strand.

The park’s freshwater lagoon, saltmarsh, maritime forest and beach are outstanding examples of the state’s natural coastal environment. These also provide such prime habitat for birds that the park is widely recognized as one of the best birding sites along the East Coast.

Huntington Beach is also the site of the historic “Atalaya” castle. The former winter home and studio of noted American sculptor, Anna Hyatt Huntington, and her husband, Archer Milton Huntington, Atalaya is also listed as a National Historic Landmark.

The prestigious juried "Atalaya Arts and Crafts festival" is held at the castle and attracts thousands of visitors to the park each September.
