Murrells Inlet MarshWalk
A wooden boardwalk along a salt-marsh inlet, lined with a dozen or so seafood restaurants and bars, billed as the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina."
Murrells Inlet is a fishing village about 25 km south of Myrtle Beach, known as the "Seafood Capital of South Carolina." The roughly 800 m marsh boardwalk runs along the inlet, with salt marsh and fishing boats on one side, and seafood restaurants such as Drunken Jack's and Wicked Tuna, plus open-air bars, on the other. Fried shrimp, steamed crab and Lowcountry boil are on the menu. It is liveliest at sunset, when live music plays, and herons and egrets are often seen on the boardwalk. Entry is free, but parking is limited.
