Barefoot Landing: Located just inland from North Beach Plantation and right on the Intracoastal Waterway, this North Myrtle Beach shopping/dining/entertainment complex offers a little bit of everything to vacationers looking to find some deals and have some fun. With its expansive facilities surrounding a 27-acre lake, Barefoot Landing is home to 50 retail shops; 25-plus restaurants, bars and snack shops – many offering waterfront dining; and a range of entertainment venues like the Alabama Theatre, the House of Blues, Alligator Adventure and more.

Tanger Outlets: For shoppers looking to bag some deals, one of the area’s top retail destinations – Tanger Outlets – offers not just one, but a pair of sprawling locations on the Grand Strand, each featuring more than 75 stores. And, because the outlet stores allow manufacturers to sell products directly to consumers without the typical retail middleman, they can offer especially deep discounts. Check out all the giant national retail names – as well as the mom-and-pop boutique shops – available at the Highway 501 outlet center and the Highway 17 outlet center.
Coastal Grand Mall: A Myrtle Beach tradition since 2004, Coastal Grand Mall is the second-largest shopping mall in the state of South Carolina. Among the 170-plus specialty stores on-site are an array of prominent national retailers such as Belk, JCPenney, Dillard’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, H&M and Old Navy. A range of smaller specialty shops offer fashions, shoes, electronics, books and more, and the food court is filled with a world of dining options. Visit coastalgrand.com to explore all the offerings.
Broadway at the Beach: One of the Grand Strand’s most popular attractions, this shopping/dining/entertainment complex offers something for visitors of all ages and interests. Featuring more than 75 stores, the 350-acre property is home to a range of unique boutique shops such as Bijuju and Palmetto Paradise alongside a number of nationally recognized retail names like Claire’s, Ron Jon Surf Shop and Victoria’s Secret.
