Murrells inlet, Surfside Beach, Garden City Beach

Nibils - Surfside Beach
Surfside Beach, Garden City Beach and Murrells inlet lie south of Myrtle Beach and are considered part of the “Grand Strand”, however these areas are quite different from MB with few high rise hotels and condos, and numerous restaurants that range from gourmet to hot dogs.  In particular Nibils, in Surfside is on the pier, has wonderful views, great staff and provides simple tasty lunches and dinner at reasonable prices and of course lots of fresh fish.  From what we hear, Nibils also has a marvelous breakfast.  It’s located in the heart of Surfside right at the pier.

Murrells Inlet has numerous restaurants on the water overlooking the marsh and inlet.  Most have excellent seafood as well as steak, barbeque and other specialties.  Many of these restaurants have entertainment, and much of the entertainment is very good, attracting both regional and national acts.  None of the entertainment involves having bison run by your food or knights on horses – for that type of excitement you’ll just have to go back to Myrtle Beach.   For a good listing of restaurants throughout the area try http://www.myrtlebeachscrestaurants.com.

We have been inextricably drawn to the same place on numerous visits.  The Dead Dog Saloon, it’s not some pseudo cowboy bar, there is a “legend” about the Dead Dog and it can be found on their website. The Dead Dog has a fairly simple and straight forward menu, fish prepared in any number of ways, steak, good burgers and plenty of adult beverages.  However the best feature is the back bar which overlooks the inlet and marsh, the outside areas and the general laid back – "this must be paradise" atmosphere.  We’re sure there are many similar venues on the inlet – we just like this one.



The back bar at Dead Dog, plenty of screens....











or if you prefer, view the inlet...
Heck, do both...how about a Margarita while deciding?
