Yes, the better shallow family swim spots are around protected inlet and sandbar areas rather than right off the open Myrtle Beach shoreline. Murrells Inlet is the area most renters ask about because the MarshWalk sits along a saltwater estuary, and pontoon rental staff mark approved sandbar areas before departure. The main thing is tide depth, since local water levels change about every 6hrs, so the same spot that feels easy at mid tide may look totally different later.
