Make the Most of Your Murrells Inlet Stay

A quieter side of the Grand Strand

Murrells Inlet offers a refreshing alternative to nearby Myrtle Beach, maintaining its identity as a historic fishing village where wooden boardwalks replace concrete promenades. The MarshWalk defines the experience—a half-mile stretch along a saltwater estuary where live music drifts from waterfront venues and restaurants serve catches brought directly to the docks. Known as the Seafood Capital of South Carolina, the town features establishments like Wicked Tuna, which operates its own fishing fleet, and Palm 33, where steaks meet fresh catch over charcoal flames.

Cultural depth beyond the coast

Just beyond the inlet, Brookgreen Gardens presents America's first public sculpture garden across 9,100 acres, housing the country's largest collection of American figurative sculpture alongside botanical gardens and a Lowcountry zoo. Nearby Huntington Beach State Park protects 3 miles of pristine coastline and Atalaya Castle, the Moorish-style winter home of the Huntingtons. The area's history runs deep—pirates including Blackbeard once hid in these creeks.

Practical considerations

Arriving through Myrtle Beach International Airport 13 miles north, you'll want a rental car as public transit remains limited. The Wachesaw Plantation community offers golf and refined accommodations, while the MarshWalk provides evening entertainment. Georgetown's colonial waterfront sits 30 minutes south, and Charleston is a 90-minute drive for day trips.
