Overview
Murrells Inlet MarshWalk
What began some two decades ago as a dream for a simple creek-side boardwalk in the little fishing and seafood village of Murrells Inlet, has grown to the single most visited destination for food and live entertainment along the entire 60-mile stretch of the Grand Strand. Now some eight distinct waterfront restaurants offer fine dining, fusion, sushi, wood-fired pizza, steaks, and of course, fabulous seafood, all with a free view and many with free nightly entertainment. Even with a dozen additional restaurants in the area, the Marsh Walk remains the heart & soul of Murrells Inlet. Not taking itself too seriously, you’ll find tee shirts with the unofficial slogan “a little drinking village with a fishing problem,” which references its fishing industry history, and its carefree, party-hearty attitude of today, all in good taste. Family friendly, the Murrells Inlet Marsh Walk, just 20 minutes south of Myrtle Beach, should be on every vacationer’s and local’s radar.
Dead Dog Saloon
The live music center of the Marsh Walk, the Dead Dog Saloon is almost a theme restaurant with its memorial wall to customers’ canines who’ve crossed the rainbow bridge,” to the best hot dogs on the beach, and plenty more doggone fun. With a large outdoor deck, enclosed patio, and two full bars, the Dead Dog serves from a huge menu, enough for even the pickiest of eaters, along with nightly live music in season.

You’ll think you’re being fancy, but then comes the hushpuppies with honey butter, and you’ll know you’re just one of Jack’s family.
