This past weekend Craig & I headed down to Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina for a little beach camping adventure! That picture above is heading into the park…absolutely ZERO filter on that picture. It was SO stunning. And we saw a couple alligators in the water…eep!
We got down there just before sunset so we had the prettiest sky and evening.

After snapping a few pics and watching the sun go down, we headed in to find our campsite and set up our tent!
I’ll be honest Craig does most of the work here 😉 He got our fire going as well and then we had a little bourbon by the fire before calling it a relatively early bedtime!
The moon was so gorgeous & full both nights.
The next morning we awoke pretty early around 7am and finally got to see our campsite in the full day light!
Craig made us coffee & eggs for breakfast. Yes he does most of the work. I assist where I am needed, but he is the pro 🙂
After breakfast we headed down to the beach for the day!!
We packed salads to have for lunch and some snacks and basically just had a chill day lounging on the beach. There were hardly any other people out there…felt like we had it to ourselves!
Then at around 4:30 we got our happy hour on down by the ocean. There are few things in my life that I love better than a happy hour in front of the waves. Hard to beat!
I know y’all love my hat & sweater combo, ha! One of my more stylish looks. My face had gotten enough sun and the wind was starting to blow harder as it seems to always do in the afternoons at beaches in the Carolinas.
We had some Miraval Vintage Rosé, which we agreed is some of the best rosé we have had!! Plus some cheese & crackers. YUM. We finished the wine AND all the cheese & crackers 😉

Saturday night Craig grilled us some steak and we steamed broccoli and sliced up some avocado for dinner. Camping eats can still be really delicious!!
The next morning we slept in a bit longer, and around 8am we got up, packed up camp, and headed to Starbucks for some coffee as we headed back to Charlotte.
It was such a fun weekend and I always love being able to spend time at the beach 🙂
Have you ever been beach camping?! When & where? Next time I wanna find a campsite actually ON the beach so we can see the ocean the whole time! We’ve already been scouting some spots.
