Just a few minutes South of Surfside Beach is Murrells Inlet, a seaside community that is considered to be the 'Seafood Capital of South Carolina". Once primarily a fishing village, the town is best known for the Murrells Inlet Marshwalk, a half-mile boardwalk overlooking a pristine salt marsh, and many award-winning seafood and barbecue restaurants along Highway 17 business. Brookgreen Gardens is also located in Murrells Inlet and features several themed gardens with American figurative sculptures, trails through several nature reserve ecosystems, and the Lowcountry Zoo. They display a beautiful Christmas event, “Night of a Thousand Candles”, that has spectacular lights and is simply a must-see.
