Next time you make it to Myrtle Beach, make time to visit the Marsh Walk.
The Marsh Walk, a beautiful stretch of waterfront boardwalk, is in Murrells Inlet. Right along an estuary, the Marsh Walk has a coastal vibe all its own. There’s a waterfront dining spot for everyone on this half-mile slice of paradise.
If you like cold drinks, good times, and great music, the Marsh Walk is sure to become a Grand Strand favorite.
It’s in a historic fishing district famous for scenery and infamous for a former regular. Blackbeard the pirate once frequented this place. When you have a look around, you understand why.
The Vibe
Sunsets can steal the show on the Marsh Walk, amid the tall marsh grasses and warm salt-air breeze. See herons, pelicans, and more in the pluff mud in search of dinner. You don’t have to look far for your own fresh seafood by award-winning chefs. This place will fill your senses and restore your soul in the process.
Waterfront Dining
Whether the mood is for burgers or top-grade steaks, the Marsh Walk has something for you.
TOP PICK: Wahoo’s Fish House
There’s lots of room for fun in this two-story fish house. Wahoo’s Fish House is Marsh Walk casual, with seafood, sushi, and a setting that’ll put you at ease. We recommend Fried Green Tomatoes, Fried Shrimp, and Bourbon BBQ Mahi. Beyond amazing.
ALSO TRY: Dead Dog Saloon
It’s full-service and family-friendly, a favorite Marsh Walk destination for every meal. It’s a friendly atmosphere where you might end up for two meals in one day. Hit happy hour and try the Raging Angels, a skewer of marinated scallops and Cajun shrimp, at Dead Dog Saloon.
Live Music
There’s always a tune in the air, and the Marsh Walk is a perfect place to take them in.
TOP PICK: The Wicked Tuna
Talk a walk to The Wicked Tuna for great live music all through March. Acts include BJ Craven, Josh McCaa, Charles Freeman, and more. They serve some wicked sushi here, too, so you’re going to love it.
ALSO TRY: The Claw House
Live music and lobster are a winning combination at The Claw House, at the Inlet Beer Garden. Add Crab Cake Poppers and Oysters on the Half Shell for a great time.
