Of Many Methods of Having Fun at the Marshwalk, Here’s One

It takes some ambition to want to pack a day on a holiday with lots of good stuff. But when that good stuff is in one place, it becomes much easier. Welcome to the Marshwalk.

The Marshwalk is a wooden boardwalk on a natural saltwater estuary.

It’s loaded with waterfront dining, live music, and kindred spirits. Also, craft vendors and goats. (The goats are on their own island!)

Here are some ideas for spending the day in this cool spot.

3. Learn the History

There’s no grand presentation — only stories that keep circulating. Tales of Blackbeard and other pirates stashing booty in this fishing village. Of the hushpuppy becoming a culinary art.

You’ll hear the Marshwalk referred to as a drinking village with a fishing problem. The more time you spend here, you’ll see that it isn’t a problem!

The post office named this magical place Murrells Inlet in 1913. But history precedes that. Much of it remains a mystery, but that adds to the allure.
