Sea Captain's House

3002 N Ocean Blvd · Myrtle Beach, SC

Why you should go…

Sea Captain's House started as a private beach cottage in the 1930s before opening as a restaurant, and it still sits right on the dune line with ocean views from most tables. She-crab soup and a big breakfast buffet are longtime menu staples. Its wraparound porch and nautical decor lean into the old Myrtle Beach cottage feel.

General eat & drink guidance

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

  • Go early or go late

    The simplest way around a wait at a popular room is to sit down before the rush or after it.

  • Reservations open on a schedule

    Where bookings are taken, tables tend to be released a set number of days in advance, often at a fixed hour.

  • Menus move with the season

    Treat any dish you read about online as a maybe, not a promise, especially anything local and seasonal.

  • Ask what the place is known for

    Staff will point you at the thing worth ordering faster than any list will.
