Murrells Inlet MarshWalk

3714 Business Hwy 17 · Murrells Inlet, SC

Why you should go…

The MarshWalk runs along the edge of Murrells Inlet, billed as the seafood capital of South Carolina, with a wooden boardwalk connecting a string of waterfront restaurants and bars. Sunset views over the marsh and passing shrimp boats are a big part of the draw. Several spots along the walk feature live bands on weekend evenings.

Good to know

General sightseeing guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • The forecast is part of the ticket

    Haze, low cloud, and rain flatten a view. Clear-day visits are worth rearranging your plans for.

  • Golden hour sells out first

    Sunset slots at observation decks and cruises are the first to go, so book those further ahead.

  • Dress a layer warmer

    It is always breezier up high and out on the water than it feels at street level.

  • Timed entry is common

    Plenty of landmarks release tickets in windows rather than at the door, so check before you walk over.
