Murrells Inlet, Litchfield Beach and Pawleys Island
 The pace is just a little slower in these South Strand communities. Murrells Inlet, once the lair of the infamous pirate Blackbeard, is known as "the Seafood Capital of South Carolina," earning its title from the fresh fish, clams, oysters, and crabs pulled from the surrounding waters and prepared in the numerous restaurants nestled along the creek banks. A 1,400-foot boardwalk, aptly called The Marshwalk, winds through the wetlands, offering stunning vistas and glimpses of wildlife and waterfowl. Litchfield Beach boasts quaint shops, delightful restaurants, quiet beaches, and an uncommon beauty. Its neighbor, Pawleys Island, prides itself on being the oldest resort in America, once offering a summer respite for plantation owners and their families. Many of their treasured retreats still stand today.
