A Myrtle Beach getaway isn’t all about sun and sand. Sometimes, it can be sun and sensational shopping. Or divine dining and eclectic entertainment. And any combination of it all.
A short drive from Ocean Boulevard, The Market Common provides an adorable respite for the sunseeker in all of us. It’s much more than a complex of shops and restaurants. Built on a former Air Force base, The Market Common contains thoughtful appointments of southern charm. With fountains, rocking chairs and play areas interspersed around boutique shops and eateries, it has become a destination within a destination.
