Myrtle Beach, SC is a popular destination for fishing enthusiasts, offering a variety of fishing opportunities both inshore and offshore. The area is known for its abundant saltwater fishing, which includes species such as red drum, spotted seatrout, flounder, king mackerel, and more. Inshore fishing is a popular choice for those looking for a relaxed day on the water and an opportunity to catch a variety of fish species in the calmer waters near the coast. Offshore fishing, on the other hand, offers a more intense fishing experience as anglers venture out into the Atlantic Ocean to target larger gamefish such as tuna, wahoo, and marlin. Myrtle Beach is also home to a number of freshwater fishing opportunities, including the Waccamaw River and numerous lakes and ponds. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just starting out, the Myrtle Beach area offers a range of fishing opportunities for all levels of experience.
