About this city
Also known as: Seafood Capital of South Carolina
Murrells Inlet is an exceptionally charming, historic coastal hamlet and ecological sanctuary nestled snugly inside a natural tidal saltwater estuary along South Carolina's grand strand coast. Historically serving for centuries as a vital safe haven for English rice planters and notorious pirates like Blackbeard, the village successfully transitioned into a premier capital for seafood gastronomy. Covered in crisp, salt-scented air and majestic live oak canopies, the community merges deeply historic maritime trade with world-class public botanical sculpture installations.
