Eden Gardens State Park
A former lumber magnate's white Greek Revival mansion and oak gardens draped in Spanish moss, a favorite spot for wedding photos.
Eden Gardens State Park lies on the shore of Tuckers Bay, north of 30A. Its centerpiece is a two-story white Greek Revival mansion built in 1897 by timber merchant William Wesley. Its interior retains antique furniture and can be toured with a guide (Thursday to Monday, for an additional fee). Century-old live oaks in the gardens are draped with Spanish moss, and azaleas and camellias bloom in spring. There is a picnic area on the bay shore. Admission is charged per vehicle, and the park is about a 10-minute drive from Seaside.
