What the Coast Remembers

This place is being gathered carefully.

Murrells Inlet has always remembered things the water way.

In tides and returnings. In boats that came back at dusk. In stories passed quietly across docks, porches, and kitchen tables — often without realizing they were stories at all.

Murrells Inlet Story exists to hold space for those memories. Not to define the Inlet, but to listen to it. This is a place for reflection, belonging, and remembering the life shaped by water, work, and time.


What This Is

This site is part of the Grand Strand Story Network, a shared effort to preserve the living history of the communities that make up the Grand Strand.

Murrells Inlet’s story is shaped by the meeting of land and water — by generations who learned to read the tides, respect the seasons, and stay rooted through change.
