Review of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina


Smiling Faces...Not so Friendly Places
Star Rating - 11/25/2010
Murrells Inlet, Pawleys Island, Litchfield Beach..very pretty, but dont move there unless you like 13.5% unemployment, racial and gender prejudice, and dont..repeat dont move there is you have lived anywhere above the Mason/Dixon line..they hate you and will do what they can to let you know it.. Everyone I know who moved there from the north wish they had not. If you want to move to the Carolina coast, I suggest NC coast or at least North Myrtle Beach. According to them..everyone who does not say "Yall"..must be related to General Sherman

I have to disagree with you on this one. I live in Myrtle Beach and I'd much rather travel to Murrells Inlet. It's pretty as well as lots of fun and interesting places to go. There's beautiful Huntington State Park, Brookgreen Gardens as well as some great restaurants and entertainment to accompany them. I find people far friendlier there than in Myrtle Beach. Yes, I agree there is *some* prejudices toward the northerners, but that comes with the territory. You just have to override it. There's going to be comments like that no matter where you live and I've lived in quite a few states. Nobody likes 'outsiders' (even in-laws). I'm thinking of relocating from Myrtle Beach and Murrell's Inlet has always been one of my top ten picks. More northerners there now then when this was posted.

Unemployment was terrible everywhere in 2010.

I could not disagree with you more! My husband and I relocated from Philadelphia to Murrells Inlet after he retired from the Phila Fire Dept. We love it here! We have had nothing but good times with great people at wonderful places. The area is lovely, the beaches are beautiful, and there are endless things to do and restaurants to choose from. If you are thinking about moving South, be sure and check this area out, you will not be disappointed. The only negative thing I can say about the area is during tourist season, June-September, the traffic can be a drag. However, it is still not nearly as bad as the daily traffic I endured traveling to and from work on the I-95. Surfside Beach, Murrells Inlet, Pawleys' Island, Litchfield Beach, etc. are all great places to live. C'mon down and see for yourself!
