Boat Parade
The annual Murrells Inlet Boat Parade will set sail at high tide on July 4th – 5:00 pm this year. Located just south of Myrtle Beach, this quaint seaside town knows how to celebrate the fourth in style. Grab a spot along the Murrells Inlet MarshWalk, Belin Methodist Church, or along the Marsh Jetty and watch as local boats show off their finest red, white, and blue. There will also be a fireworks show at Veteran’s Pier at 9:00 pm.
