Hunting Island Beach, South Carolina
Hunting Island Beach, a part of Hunting Island State Park, is located along the southeastern shore of South Carolina in Beaufort County, 16 miles east of the City of Beaufort, 9 miles southwest of Edisto Beach, and 35 miles northeast of Tybee Roads at the mouth of the Savannah River. The beach has experienced severe shoreline recession, with loss of usable beach area, and damage to park roads and facilities. Remedial measures were proposed in a survey report in 1964, and a shore protection project was authorized by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1965. This authorization provides for the construction and periodic renourishment of a 10,000-foot feeder beach, and a terminal groin located about 1,900 feet north of the north end of the feeder beach. The groin is a prestressed concrete sheet pile structure about 840 feet long, and appears to be functioning well. The environmental impacts of the project are not expected to extend beyond the immediate vicinity of the project area. The material to be dredged and deposited on the beach is primarily sand so that water turbidity and sedimentation will not extend beyond the immediate vicinity of the project area.
