10 Best Shopping in Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand, South Carolina

South Carolina's only Hard Rock Cafe and Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville restaurant are among the many themed restaurants at this shopping complex set around Lake Broadway, where you can soar through the sky on a zipline or take a dizzying speedboat ride. It's the area's biggest mall, with shops ranging from the Man Cave Store and a Harley-Davidson outfitter to the Southern Living store, featuring home items curated by the magazine. Among the many attractions in the complex are Pavilion Park's kids' and thrill rides, a Topgolf, and the WonderWorks interactive museum, where kids can spend hours exploring and adults can strap into one of several simulators that send you twirling at dizzying speeds.

This complex features more than 100 specialty shops, bars, and restaurants, plus amusement rides and the Crooked Hammock Brewery. Restaurants fronting the intracoastal waterway include Greg Norman's Australian Grille and LuLu's. In summer, check out the fireworks displays every Monday night.

There are more than 100 mostly name-brand shops selling everything from high-end apparel and candy to Harley-Davidson- and comic-book-themed gifts.

With more than 1 million square feet of retail space, this is the area's most significant indoor mall with department stores—and it's the second largest in the state. The blocks surrounding the mall contain a restaurant district, a movie theater, and tons of specialty shops.

Two dozen boutiques, gift shops, and restaurants, set in cottages built with old beams, timber, and ballast brick, under a canopy of live oaks, make up this charming shopping district. Outside the Original Hammock Shop, in the Hammock Weavers' Pavilion, craftspeople demonstrate the 19th-century art of weaving the famous cotton-rope Pawleys Island hammocks. Also look for jewelry, toys, antiques, and designer fashions.

This independent bookstore is the place to pick up a beach read or regional-interest book. It's also the home base for authors who want to return home after making it on the bestseller list, via Pawleys Island's "Litchfield Books Exclusive Author Events" series of lectures and classes.

This indoor mall sits in the Briarcliffe section just north of Tanger Outlets and just south of Barefoot Landing, offering department store and boutique standards, as well as a monstrous Bass Pro Shop, a movie theater, and a model train exhibit.

Combining high-end shopping with upscale living and dining spaces, the 114-acre Market Common features stores like Anthropologie, Barnes & Noble, Orvis, Pottery Barn, and a Southern Living store. A movie theater, playgrounds, bountiful year-round outdoor festivals, and a park with a man-made lake and bike path make it a day-trip destination.
