While Myrtle Beach is definitely a great spot for fun, sun and sand, it also happens to be an outstanding place to shop. The Grand Strand, which runs 60 miles along the Atlantic Coast in South Carolina, offers plentiful outlet malls, souvenir shops, unique boutiques and national chain stores.
Here are 5 not-to-miss shopping spots in Myrtle Beach:

Right off Highway 501 and easy to find, the outlet mall has retailers for clothes, shoes, housewares, home furnishings, jewelry, accessories and even perfume and vitamins.
Auntie Anne’s Pretzels and The Fudgery provide a treat along the way with larger restaurants like Outback Steakhouse and Ruby Tuesday also on site. AARP and AAA members, along with military and service personnel, can stop by the services center to get a free Tanger coupon booklet to score additional savings.
