Murrells Inlet, South Carolina Visitors Guide

Escape to historic Murrells Inlet for an unforgettable time on the East Coast! Known for it's natural coastline and historic landmarks, Murrells Inlet attracts visitors from across the globe. Come for the beach, but stay for the fishing, hiking, culture, and history!

From the Native Americans, through the Civil War, and into modern times, the Inlet has soaked in more history than your average beach destination. Presidents, Senators, athletes, and award-winning architects have passed through town, lending to several landmarks including Atalaya and Richmond Hill. The stunning historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features two antebellum houses, as well as a marshland backdrop for extra-engaging sights.

Not a big history buff? No problem! Just 10 miles south of Myrtle Beach, Murrells Inlet still boasts many of the family-friendly beach activities and attractions we all love. A busy fleet of fishing charters will ship you straight to that prized catch, and sparkling-sand beaches are as inviting to look at as they are to lay on! This small-town "fishing village" is proud of their laid back atmosphere, and they show it with the slogan "it's an Inlet thing".
