Sea Captain’s House
Sea Captain's House
A seaside seafood restaurant in a historic house, opened in 1962, with she-crab soup as its signature. It is a local legend in Myrtle Beach.
Located at 3002 N Ocean Blvd, the building was originally an oceanfront home built in 1930, later converted into a hotel, and has operated as a restaurant since 1962. Almost every seat has a view of the Atlantic. The signature she-crab soup is rich and creamy, finished with sherry, and the menu also includes a variety of Southern seafood dishes. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner year-round (breakfast only on Thanksgiving, and closed around Christmas). Reservations are accepted but not required. Dinner lines in peak season can be long, so it is best to book ahead.
Opening hours
Daily 7:00–10:30 AM breakfast, 11:30 AM–4:00 PM lunch, 4:00–9:00 PM dinner (extended to 10:00 PM in summer)
