The MarshWalk
The heartbeat of Murrells Inlet — a mile of waterfront restaurants, bars, and live music
The MarshWalk is a half-mile wooden boardwalk along the tidal marsh in Murrells Inlet, lined with some of the best seafood restaurants and bars on the South Carolina coast. From Drunken Jack's to Dead Dog Saloon, every spot has a water view and a story. This is where locals and tourists meet every evening — cold drinks, live music, shrimp boats in the background, and sunsets that stop you mid-sentence. If you paddle the inlet at dusk, you'll hear the music from the water before you see the lights.
Park at the public lot on Business 17 and walk the whole stretch before picking a spot. The restaurants at the north end tend to have shorter waits. Come by kayak if you can — tie up at the dock and walk right in.
Launch from Oyster Landing (0.3 mi north) and paddle south along the marsh edge to reach the MarshWalk docks. Best at high tide.
