Seafood Capital of South Carolina
Fresh-off-the-boat seafood. The legendary Marsh Walk.
Pristine beaches and world-class fishing.
Summer 2026: Peak season June–September — waterfront tables fill fast, book your Marsh Walk dining and lodging early.
Murrells Inlet sits quietly between Myrtle Beach and Pawleys Island — and that's exactly how locals like it. Dubbed the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina," this tidal fishing village has been serving up fresh-caught shrimp, oysters, and flounder since before anyone was counting. The legendary Marsh Walk lines the inlet's edge with a string of waterfront restaurants, bars, and docks where pelicans outnumber tourists on a good day.
Day-trippers come for the seafood and stay for the vibe. Just minutes away, Brookgreen Gardens — the world's largest outdoor sculpture garden — and Huntington Beach State Park offer world-class experiences without the crowds of the Grand Strand.
Half a mile of waterfront restaurants, bars, and live music along the tidal marsh. Best at sunset with a cold drink and a shrimp basket in hand.
