Shopping
in Myrtle Beach can be a diverse adventure that ranges
from finding the right tacky tourist gift to the perfect
pair of Italian loafers. A great place to start that
search for the one-of-a-kind tourist icon is at the
Gay Dolphin. The Dolphin stocks its store with
those obscure and unusual souvenirs that most likely
have been sitting on their shelves since the late 60's.
How can you pass up the opportunity to purchase an item
as rare as a carved coconut head that looks like little
pirate, or maybe you would prefer a rubber fish? This
glass-enshrined tourist Mecca has it all, a lookout
tower on the roof and even a bizarre string fountain.
Once
you have had your fill of beachwear stores, and have
found that one-of-a-kind souvenir. You may want to then
venture on to one of the Grand Strand's many shopping
complexes. With a vast variety of stores, each complex
has it's own unique twist. Colonial Mall is the
shopping complex farthest North in Myrtle Beach and
it tends to cater to a younger and more refined shopper.
Next, there is Coastal Grand, the largest mall
on the east coast. With stores like Belk, Dillard's, Sears,
Dick's Sporting Goods,Bed Bath & Beyond, and Cinemark Theaters.
It located next to the Intersection of U.S. Hwy 501 and SC Hwy 17 Bypass.
Inlet Square Mall would be the mall that is located the furthest South.
They have more of an older conservative clientele. At
each of these locations you have your typical mall fare,
lots of shops, a food court and parking (imagine that!).
The
Grand Strand has several other shopping centers along
it's sunny shores which include Broadway at the Beach,
a shopping, eating, and dancing dream come true, Barefoot
Landing (see the aforementioned description), the
Myrtle Beach Factory Stores, which is guaranteed
to satiate the outlet shopping lover with stores like
Nike, Timberland, Banana Republic
and more.
Once
you tire of shopping the mega-complexes there are many
smaller boutiques that offer a more unique buying experience.
There are places like Studio 77, which has the
perfect items to decorate that posh New York City loft.
And then there are funky and trendy clothing stores
like The Venue, which help you to look fabulous
while hanging out in your big city apartment. There
are other great shops like Daze End that carry
all the necessary survival gear for the skaters and
ravers. And if it's music you're looking for, be sure
to visit Sounds Familiar. Sounds Familiar
has a great selection of compact disc and tapes that
vary in styles from drum'n'bass to bluegrass. In Myrtle
Beach there is truly something for everyone
well,
most everyone.
Golf
Widows and families alike know that the Grand Strand has
some of the best shopping on the east coast. You can spend
a day at the outlet malls or at Broadway at the Beach
and have a blast.
