Highwood, located between U.S. 17 Business and the Murrells Inlet marshfront, is a residential and coastal Murrells Inlet neighborhood with live-oak shade and salt-air breezes. The neighborhood reads as low-slung coastal architecture—raised cottages, screened porches, and tidy yards—set against tidal creeks and palmettos. The area’s energy concentrates around the MarshWalk at the intersection of Highway 17 Business and Wachesaw Road, where seafood houses, dockside bars, and live-music patios line the water. Community pillars nearby include Lee’s Farmers Market, Brookgreen Gardens, and the Murrells Inlet Outpost. Days tend to revolve around boat ramps, marsh views, and sunset strolls along the inlet.
