With Independence Day only a few days away, we thought it would be a good idea to share the Murrells Inlet events that are going on down here on the south end! Continue reading to view the fun things to do in Murrells Inlet on July 4th:

34th Annual Boat Parade In Murrells Inlet

At 4pm on July 4th, the 34th Annual Boat Parade will take place in Murrells Inlet. The parade will begin at the Garden City Point and wind down through the MarshWalk all the way to the Hot Fish Club. Come out and vote on which boat you think is decorated the best!

July 4th On The MarshWalk

Celebrate Independence Day with family and friends on the MarshWalk in Murrells Inlet. It’s not the 4th of July without fireworks! Beginning at 10pm, the Grand Strand’s largest aerial fireworks show will commence. Make sure you come early, grab a seat and sip on your favorite beverage while you wait.

East Coast BrewBoat’s 2 Hour Fireworks Cruise

The newest edition to the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk also happens to be South Carolina’s very first pedal pub! Grab 14 of your friends, hop aboard this unique pontoon boat and pedal your way through the Inlet! This 2 hour journey begins at 8:45pm and it’s BYOB (or wine). Drink your favorite adult beverage as you pedal the water watching the sky light up. Sounds like a pretty good day to us!

Murrells Inlet Golf: Architect’s Nine Membership

It’s no secret that True Blue Golf Club and Caledonia Golf & Fish Club are two of the best Murrells Inlet golf courses. In face, they are two of the top courses across the entire Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach! If you have played either golf course, then you know what we are talking about. These two golf courses, which have been voted as two of America’s top 100 public courses, are founding partners of The Architect’s Nine, a membership program that provides golfers special access to a collection of the nation’s best layouts.

Joining True Blue & Caledonia in this elite club are the following courses:

Rackham – Donald Ross designed course in Detroit, Michigan
Rustic Canyon – Gil Hanse & Geoff Shackelford designed golf course in Greater Los Angeles, California
Southern Pines – Donald Ross design golf course in Pinehurst, North Carolina
Sweetens Cove – King-Collins golf course in Greater Chattanooga, Tennessee
Tobacco Road – Mike Strantz golf course in Pinehurst, North Carolina
Wild Horse – Nebraska course designed by Dave Axland & Dan Proctor
Wine Valley – Dan Hixson designed golf course in Washington State

It’s fantastic to see these two Murrells Inlet golf courses (Caledonia & True Blue) among such elite company. If the Architect’s Nine membership isn’t feasible for you due to some of the courses being on the west coast, please check out a few golf packages that Inlet Sports Lodge offers. Our packages even include lodging at our luxury hotel in Murrells Inlet! Give us a call at 843.357.6106 to learn more.

Myrtle Beach Shopping Destinations

Sure, Myrtle Beach is known as the golf capital of the world, but that doesn’t mean that’s all we have to offer! Aside from various attractions and shows, the Grand Strand boasts several Myrtle Beach shopping destinations that are a must-stop year after year. Below are a few places that you may have heard of, as well as a few local gems!

The Hammock Shops – Pawleys Island
A few short miles from the Inlet Sports Lodge along Highway 17 is a quaint little strip mall known as the Hammock Shops. From nautical gift shops and candy stores to gourmet foods and pet supplies, this place has it all! Plan to eat lunch at bisQit while you are there and enjoy a taste of the Lowcountry.

The Market Common – Myrtle Beach
Located on Farrow Parkway on the South end of Myrtle Beach, this is truly the Myrtle Beach mecca for urban chic lifestyle shopping. Built to resemble an urban Charleston type village, it features big names such as CityMac, Bath & Body Works, and Victoria’s Secret, but also features lesser known hipster and upscale boutiques. Market Common also offers a unique array of dining options with names such as Tupelo Honey Café, Toffino’s Italian Deli, Gordon Biersch Brewery and Grille, and more! Very walkable with weekly events in the summer and an onsite high end movie theater.

Broadway at the Beach – Myrtle Beach
Located in the heart of Myrtle Beach, enjoy over 350 acres of dining, shopping, the best nightlife at the beach, and amusements! This is a Myrtle Beach staple that has been around for years but has constantly changed throughout. Within the next few months, Broadway at the Beach will boast a brand new Dave & Busters as well as a new restaurant concept from Paula Deen! How about that y’all?

Barefoot Landing – North Myrtle Beach
The original shopping staple at the beach! Located in North Myrtle Beach, this red metal roof shopping experience features wooden decks throughout to enjoy the scenery and massive lake with natural area and floating bridge! Keep your eyes out for jumping fish and crawling alligators. Enjoy experiences such as the Alabama Theatre, Alligator Adventure, and the House of Blues while dining at the highest Trip Advisor ranked restaurant named Flying Fish among others!

Tanger Outlet Centers – Myrtle Beach & North Myrtle Beach
Featuring two locations, one on 17 Bypass and one on Highway 501, this national chain features leading brands from all over! For a more outdoor experience venture over to 501, and for those rainy days 17 Bypass can take the front seat. Both locations feature either onsite or nearby dining options to please the shoppers palate. Get sporty with Under Armour or Nike or grab a designer bag for a night on the town at Coach or Michael Kors.

Murrells Inlet Restaurants: Local Favorites

What’s better than eating a big ol’ plate of fried seafood while relaxing in a comfy chair as you gaze out into the waterway? How about doing so only a few minutes from the Inlet Sports Lodge? Talk about convenience!

Murrells Inlet is known as the seafood capital of South Carolina, so there really is no better place to enjoy a taste of the sea. Murrells Inlet restaurants are known for much more than seafood though. We have compiled a small list of our favorite, local spots relatively close to the Inlet Sports Lodge to fill up your belly!

Costa Coastal Kitchen & Bar – CostaMyrtleBeach.com

This one isn’t on our list just because it’s our on-site restaurant, but because it’s the #1 restaurant in Murrells Inlet (according to Yelp & TripAdvisor). That’s right…#1! Costa serves traditional Italian fare with a classic twist. They are also known for their seared scallops and fresh fish options. If you enjoy your food with a little heat, give the Spicy Crab & Lemon pasta dish a shot. Fresh crab is mixed in with oven roasted tomatoes, charred corn, preserved lemon, arugula, and chili pepper tossed with fresh fettuccine. It’s FABULOUS!

Prosser’s BBQ – ProssersBBQ.com

If you are in the south, you expect good barbecue. You won’t be disappointed if you head to Prossers! From succulent pulled pork to the best fried chicken you will ever eat, their BBQ buffet has everything you would expect and more. After you chow down on homemade mac & cheese, chicken bog and collard greens, make sure you save some room for some banana pudding. It’s not a southern meal without some banana puddin’! This BBQ joint is only a handful of miles from the Lodge.

Hot Fish Club – HotFishClub.com

To most locals, the Hot Fish Club is known for their nightlife. After all, Murrells Inlet is known as a quant little drinking village with a fishing problem! Before you let loose and party, make sure you put some food in your belly. Start out with the Blue Crab Fondue then ease your way into some Lobster Pot Pie. No, that’s not a type-o. The Lobster Pot Pie is filled with large chunks of lobster, shrimp & scallops in a creamy white wine cream sauce topped with scratch-made puff pastry for an added crunch. It’s one of those meals that just warms up your soul!

River City Cafe – RiverCityCafe.com

In the mood for a juicy burger? Look no further than River City Cafe! With multiple locations across the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach, it’s easy to fill that void in your stomach with some delicious meat. Lucky for you, there is a River City right down the street from Inlet Sports Lodge. All of their burgers (beef, turkey or chicken) are phenomenal. Our recommendation is the California Pizza Burger that is topped with a fried provolone cheese patty, pepperoni & marinara sauce. It’s absolutely unreal! You would also be doing yourself an injustice if you went to River City Cafe and left without getting their onion rings, which are the largest we have ever seen, anywhere! Another added bonus are the complimentary peanuts that you can snack on as you wait for your food.

So as you can see, the Murrells Inlet restaurants in the area offer everything you could want…and more. If you are interested in staying in the area so that you can enjoy each one of these places at your disposal, give Inlet Sports Lodge a call at 877.357.6106 and we will take care of you!

Myrtle Beach Wedding Venues

There are a million and one places to get married along the Grand Strand. It just all depends on what type of experience you and your spouse are looking for! Weddings on the beaches in North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach are extremely popular for out-of-towners and locals alike, but there are plenty of lovebirds who want to experience the lowcountry and all of it’s beauty. Good thing for you, Inlet Sports Lodge offers scenic Myrtle Beach wedding venues in Pawleys Island! Continue reading to check out two wedding venues at prestigious golf clubs that are both elegant and accommodating for both you and your guests as well as our on-site facility.

Caledonia Golf & Fish Club

Pawleys Island is known for its old live oak trees draped with Spanish moss and Caledonia is chock-full of them. If you are looking to accommodate over 75 guests, this would be our recommendation. Azalea Row is located just off of the 9th green and provides you and your significant other with a gorgeous view of those large oak trees and colorful flowers. Moss Oak Alley is in close proximity to both large and small tent locations that would provide a short walk to the reception. Click here to view more information as well as recommended vendors.

True Blue

True Blue offers a very similar landscape to Caledonia as it is right down Highway 17.

It is annually ranked on “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses” list by Golf Digest.

True Blue Golf Club – Pawleys Island

Similar to Caledonia, True Blue has earned several prestigious awards in the golf world including “No. 1 Public Course in the Myrtle Beach Area,” as well as a ranking on “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses” list by Golf Digest. This 6,375 yard, par 72 course offers a layout with wide fairways, smooth greens and elevation changes, that both the pro and average golfer should find to be a true joy to play!

TPC Myrtle Beach – Murrells Inlet

The Tournament Players Club of Myrtle Beach brings more than just a prestigious name to Murrells Inlet. This Tom Fazio designed golf course has hosted multiple PGA Tour events over the year, including one Senior PGA Tour Championship. Each one of their 18 holes is one that you won’t soon forget. Be sure to swing by their pro shop after your round to grab a few souvenirs so that you can tell your golf buddies that you played this golf course!
