For many vacationers, no beach retreat (or any getaway, for that matter) is complete without a healthy dose of shopping time. And whether your vacation crew’s retail therapy involves searching for the perfect souvenir, updating a wardrobe with the latest fashions, or simply strolling the shops, Myrtle Beach offers plenty of prime places to scratch the shopping itch.

When your party is ready to hit the shops, consider these five great spots in the Myrtle Beach area for getting in some retail therapy:

#1: Barefoot Landing

Located along the scenic Intracoastal Waterway, this shopping/dining/entertainment complex in North Myrtle Beach offers something for shoppers of all ages and interests — plenty of options for fun-seekers too. It’s home to more than 50 retail shops and 25-plus restaurants, bars, and snack shops — and since the property features a 27-acre lake in addition to the Intracoastal, many offer waterfront dining. Further, entertainment venues such as the House of Blues, the Alabama Theatre, Alligator Adventure, and more provide ample options for memory-making activities.
