For many of us with a sweet tooth, the most anticipated part of any meal typically comes at the end — when dessert is served. And whether the sugar seekers in your vacation party are in the mood for ice cream, chocolate, pastries, cake or nearly any confection in between, the Grand Strand and its abundance of excellent eateries can accommodate.
Looking to satisfy your sweet tooth during your North Myrtle Beach area getaway? Check out one of these six area restaurants known for their delectable desserts and located within easy driving distance of North Beach Resort & Villas

Sweet Molly’s Creamery
Located about a mile inland from North Beach Resort & Villas at the Barefoot Landing shopping/dining/entertainment complex, Sweet Molly’s Creamery has been serving up homemade ice cream in North Myrtle Beach for nearly 20 years. The shop also makes homemade sorbet and frozen yogurt right on-site, and all of its cool treats are crafted in small batches to ensure that they’re served fresh.

LuLu’s
Found just a short stroll away from Sweet Molly’s at Barefoot Landing, LuLu’s is known for its fun atmosphere (there’s an arcade, beach volleyball court and ropes course right on-site) and its authentic, scratch-made coastal cuisine. Some of the unique ways to finish off a great meal here include some of the best Key Lime Pie you’ll find anywhere, the Brownie in Paradise served with vanilla ice cream on top and the Hot Fun Krispy Kreme® Bread Pudding served with Vanilla Custard Sauce.
Kirk’s Ice Cream Parlor
