Murrells Inlet is often a stop in people’s Myrtle Beach getaways.
It actually deserves its own billing. With the Intracoastal Waterway and Marsh Walk, Murrells Inlet is like no place on earth. There’s plenty of wildlife — and wild life — to see.
Here’s your guide to one of the Grand Strand’s most scenic and terrific areas.
