November 9, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

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.

The largest sculpture garden in the world - 350 acres!!! Gorgeous gardens, impeccable landscapes, a wide variety of sculpture in varying places (indoors and out). If you visit Myrtle Beach, this garden is an incredible surprise and well worth visiting for a few hours. They also have a small zoo, an explorer bus ride and also a pontoon ride thru the canals of the old rice plantations.

might be the best water bird photo spot in the region 100s of different breeds of birds. 2 great beach access spots and the very small entry fee makes it a bit less crowded

Lost at Sea Memorial at Morse Park Landing

Reviewed By J9300DBsuel

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.

Waccamaw Neck Bikeway

Reviewed By S1849DHmichaelf - Myrtle Beach, United States

This bike/ walking path goes for miles and miles beside the marsh, into the wooded areas, and beside Highway 17. It is very safe and a great way to bike from Murrells Inlet to Huntington Beach State Park.
