Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, is known as the “seafood capital of South Carolina.” Originally established as a fishing village, the town has grown to be known for its exceptional restaurants and exciting nightlife.

Though you could happily spend a lot of time in Murrells Island, the surrounding area is full of wonderful things to do and see! Myrtle Beach and Huntington Beach are both a short drive away.
