Grand Strand Eats

Waterfront restaurants on the Grand Strand

Eating with a view of the water is half the fun of a Grand Strand trip. These are the local, non-chain spots on our map that sit on the ocean, the inlet, the marsh or the Intracoastal Waterway. Many are busiest at sunset, so plan ahead on weekends.
