Murrells Inlet is an unincorporated area and census-designated place straddling the line between Horry and Georgetown Counties in South Carolina, United States. The population was 7,547 at the 2010 census. The community was once primarily a fishing village, but has grown substantially in modern time, along with the rest of the Grand Strand, into a popular tourist and retirement location. It is most known for the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, a ⁄2-mile-long (0.8 km) boardwalk overlooking a salt marsh and which houses many restaurants.

A little getaway with the missus to my favorite island beach in S.C. We always end up here for drinks and dinner at sunset on the open air patio. Food is well priced and plentiful, seafood is fresh as can be and the view is beautiful at sunset looking to the east over the marches to the atlantic ocean. The key lime pie was tasty and Sean Brown on the guitar was wonderful . Thanks Hot Fish for two romantic evenings in a row at your establishment. !!!!!!

The atmosphere in Murrells Inlet is very relaxed with beautiful views and lots of good restaurants and casual eateries. The beach is much less crowded than in Myrtle Beach, so we like it more, but if we wanted to go do other activities it is just a short drive to Myrtle Beach.

Centered near the seafood capital of SC The MarshWalk containing gift, kitchen, craft and jewelry items for souvenirs or unique gifts. The location next the fresh ice cream parlor and the colorful rocking chairs on the porch make for relaxing in a southern state of mind. Look for the craft shows under the oaks

Thaaatt's Right! Nestled along Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, about 10 miles south of South Myrtle Beach, the Original Suck Bang Blow opened its doors in 1996, and quickly gained a reputation for smokin' burnouts, hot girls, great music and, of course, the fact that you could ride through the front doors, right up to the bar, and order a cold one! It was and still is a favorite among rally-goers and locals alike.

This is a quiet, peaceful area of Murrells Inlet. There are a few benches where you can sit and soak up the feeling of the inlet. The memorial features the likeness of one of the fishermen who perished along with an extensive list of names and dates of others who met the same fate. You could easily miss seeing it driving by but once you are there, it is an experience.

Awesome to see a wide selection of seafood and fish . The staff were more than helpful and willing to make sure I had all I needed. Grouper, Halibut were fresh and so delicious once they were cooked that evening . The store has such a huge selection of spices, soups, bisques , and other great frozen octopus, new zealand green lip mussels ....etc. I have tried many other fish monger establishments in Murrells Inlet ...but Harrleson's is my Go To beyond a doubt !
