COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Officials have stopped taking reservations for some South Carolina state park cabins threatened by beach erosion.
The State newspaper of Columbia reported Friday that Hunting Island State Park in Beaufort County is no longer accepting reservations for nine of its beach accessible cabins.
State parks director Phil Gaines says the 10 cabins at the park already are booked through Thanksgiving and those reservations will be honored unless beach erosion gets increasingly worse.
Beach erosion in recent years has damaged some of the cabins and washed away parts of the only road leading to several of them.
Six of the cabins are accessible by cars, and four can be reached only by golf carts.
The tenth cabin is well inland and is safe from erosion.
