Full Directory — Myrtle Beach Seafood Restaurants
Every seafood restaurant on the Grand Strand — 91 spots from Little River to Pawleys Island. Calabash buffets, MarshWalk waterfront dining, raw bars, and the seafood markets where locals actually buy their shrimp.
The best seafood in the area isn't in Myrtle Beach proper — it's twenty minutes south in Murrells Inlet, the Seafood Capital of South Carolina. Drunken Jack's anchors the MarshWalk. Inlet Crab House & Raw Bar outrates every restaurant on the walk. In Myrtle Beach itself, Hook & Barrel sits at 4.7 and ranks #3 of 800 restaurants in the city. Bimini's Oyster Bar is the locals' answer to the buffet strip. Sea Captain's House has been doing oceanfront dining since 1962.
