Why you should go: It’s quite a thing to take the title of Seafood Capital of South Carolina, a state with no shortage of abundant seafood. So bring an empty stomach to Myrtle Beach, especially to the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk. This half-mile boardwalk along the Intracoastal Highway hosts live music every night and presents a smorgasbord for fish lovers. Visitors can easily stroll between venues like Bubba’s Love Shak, Dead Dog Saloon, Wahoo’s, Creek Ratz, and Tuna Shack to hear original tunes and take in the view of the saltwater estuary and its labyrinth of golden marsh grass. Pro tip: Book a scenic cruise on the Explorer so that after you’ve had your fill, you can depart from the stunningly beautiful pedestrian boardwalk and sail off into the sunset.
