From malls and outlets to boutiques and flea markets, you're sure to find the perfect shopping oasis. Sit back, relax and allow us to guide you to the best retail therapy the Grand Strand has to offer.

1.) The Tanger Outlets are a Myrtle Beach shopping hot-spot. Because of their popularity, they have two separate Myrtle Beach locations. Tanger Outlets North is set just off of Bypass 17 while Tanger Outlets South is located on Highway 501. They may share the same name, but each outlet center carries its own unique set of vendors so be sure to visit them both! Each location is famous for over-the-top sales and discounts.

Coastal Grand Mall

2.) Myrtle Beach is home to the second largest shopping mall in South Carolina: the Coastal Grand. Built in 2004, this mall houses over 170 stores including Old Navy, Bed Bath & Beyond, American Eagle, Brookstone and Abercrombie & Fitch. Their anchor stores include Dillard, JC Penney, Belk and Sears. In addition to the mall food courts, you'll find dozens of restaurants just outside the shopping complex.

3.) Settled around a picturesque 23 acre lake, Broadway at the Beach is home to dozens of unique shops that showcase local culture and  arts- a great place for vacation souvenirs! After a long day of shopping, be sure to dine at one of their many delectable restaurants, including Jimmy Buffet's Margartiaville, Liberty Steakhouse, and Yamatos.

4.) The largest open air flea market on the Grand Strand is located in Surfside Beach. At Hudson's Surfside Flea Market, you'll find 70,000 square feet filled with 400 vendor tables to browse. Their wide variety of commodities include purses, jewelry, kitchenwares, sunglasses, cell phone accessories and much more. Locals have named it the best flea market on the beach, and we're sure you'll love it as much as we do!

The Market Common

5.) The Market Common in Myrtle Beach feels like its own little town with quaint shops, town homes, a movie theater, restaurants, parks, and even a grocery store. Popular vendors include Barnes & Noble, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Anthropologie and White House Black Market. The Market Common is the perfect shopping retreat for a beautiful day!
