Myrtle Beach Shopping

The Travel Industry Association of America rates shopping as #1 on the list of travelers’ activities.

The Grand Strand is doing their part to provide the best of the best. Whether you are visiting for a week, are a winter resident, or are just coming for that holiday bargain, shopping in Myrtle Beach can be both rewarding and fun!

Myrtle Beach offers three huge factory outlet centers as well as three shopping malls with a fourth, the largest in S.C., under construction. You can spend an entire day at either of the mega-shopping complexes Broadway at the Beach or Barefoot Landing, which feature an assortment of retail shops, boutiques, and galleries. Other choices steer you further south into Pawley’s Island and Georgetown, where you’ll find a peaceful Lowcountry setting with many specialty shops.

After you visit these shopping venues, take a ride west to downtown Conway. Its river town style is reminiscent of yesteryear, yet its stores provide modern upscale products and services.

Now that the economy is recovering, it is a great time to get out there and spend those dollars! Accommodations located near these shopping venues also benefit from the influx of bargain-hunters that travel to Myrtle Beach “We have many guests who choose to stay with us because we are centrally located to all shopping complexes. People want to shop, and we are always glad to recommend our personal favorites for gifts and bargains,” says Lee Lear, Director of Operations at The Myrtle Beach Resort.

It could be said that the phrase “Shop ‘til you drop” was coined with the Grand Strand in mind. Here the toughest challenge you’ll find is being limited to twenty-four hours in one day! Regardless of where you are shopping on the Strand, you will be satisfied with your experience (and don’t forget your bargains!).
