Depends on the size of the earthquake that causes it.

ADDED: Also of course, the topography and altitude of the coast; and the nature of any barrier such as mangrove swamps, which are effective breakwaters.

The distance a tidal wave travels inland depends on various factors such as the wave's size, speed, and the topography of the coast. In extreme cases, tidal waves, or tsunamis, have been known to travel miles inland causing widespread destruction.
