5 Best Places to Shop in Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach and the Grand Strand

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.

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.

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.
