The Lowcountry in Its Sweet Spot
October might just be the best month to soak up everything Murrells Inlet has to offer.
The crowds thin out, the humidity drops, and the sunsets get downright stunning. After a morning fishing trip, this is the time to stroll the Marsh Walk, grab a plate of fresh local seafood, and enjoy the slower, laid-back rhythm that makes this place special.
Start Your Day on the Water
Before we get to exploring, let’s be honest — the best way to kick off your fall day here is with a fishing rod in hand.
October’s redfish and trout bite is on fire (see our latest report!), and the calm inshore creeks make for smooth, easy rides.
Whether it’s a family trip or a friends’ getaway, a morning charter gives you that “real” Murrells Inlet experience — rods bending, dolphins cruising by, and laughter echoing across the marsh.
Marsh Walk Nights & Live Music
As the sun sets, the Marsh Walk comes alive. Local restaurants like Drunken Jack’s and Wahoo’s host live music most evenings, and October weather means you can dine outside without breaking a sweat.
Grab some shrimp and grits, sip something cold, and catch that golden-hour view over the water.
🎃 Halloween on the MarshWalk – October 31, 2025
The MarshWalk transforms into a spooky waterfront celebration on October 31st for Halloween on the MarshWalk.
Expect live music, creative costumes, and trick-or-treating for the kids — all set against that iconic inlet backdrop. It’s family-friendly early in the evening, then turns into a fun night scene as the adults take over later on.
Nearby Fall Events Worth the Drive
If you’re planning to explore beyond Murrells Inlet, a few nearby events make October 2025 even better:
- Loris Bog-Off Festival (October 18, 2025): A family-friendly Southern favorite featuring chicken bog cook-offs, parades, and small-town charm — just a short drive inland from the coast.
- Georgetown Wooden Boat Show (Third weekend in October, 2025): Held in historic Georgetown, this festival celebrates the Lowcountry’s maritime heritage with boat-building demos, local art, and waterfront fun.
