Planning a Myrtle Beach shopping getaway? Check availability and book your stay at Marina Inn at Grande Dunes.
Not sure where to start? These Myrtle Beach shopping destinations stand out for different reasons, from outlet deals and indoor malls to souvenirs and local finds.
Distances are approximate and can vary depending on the route.
For outlet-focused Myrtle Beach shopping close to Marina Inn at Grande Dunes, Tanger Outlets Myrtle Beach Hwy 17 is one of the most convenient choices.
The open-air center features a broad selection of outlet stores, including brands such as Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren, Kate Spade New York, Under Armour, Michael Kors, and other fashion, footwear, accessory, and lifestyle retailers.
It is an easy option for travelers who want to spend a few hours looking for brand-name merchandise without dedicating an entire vacation day to shopping.
Tanger also offers digital rewards and promotional programs, so checking current offers before you arrive may help you find additional discounts.

Myrtle Beach shopping includes a second Tanger Outlets location along Highway 501, giving outlet shoppers another large collection of stores to explore.
Current retailers include a mix of apparel, footwear, accessories, and outdoor brands, with names such as Coach, Adidas, Columbia, Tommy Hilfiger, and others represented in the center’s directory.
This location can be especially convenient for visitors traveling into or out of Myrtle Beach through the Highway 501 corridor.
If you are searching for a specific brand, compare the directories for both Tanger locations before leaving your hotel. The two centers have overlapping categories but different individual stores, so the best choice depends on your shopping list.
For travelers who want Myrtle Beach shopping to be part of a larger afternoon or evening out, Barefoot Landing is one of the Grand Strand’s most enjoyable open-air destinations.
Set in North Myrtle Beach near the Intracoastal Waterway, Barefoot Landing combines specialty stores with restaurants, entertainment, and outdoor walkways.
Current shopping options include names such as Ron Jon Surf Shop, The Christmas Mouse, Chicora Wood, and Pepper Palace, along with additional gift, apparel, specialty-food, and lifestyle retailers.
Rather than arriving simply to purchase one item, visitors can browse for a few hours, stop for a meal, and continue into the evening with entertainment nearby.
Barefoot Landing offers free parking and dog-friendly outdoor common areas. The center also offers a digital Exclusive Member Savings Card for participating businesses.
If you would like to combine shopping with a good meal, browse our guide to places to eat in Myrtle Beach.
For current visitor information, parking, and policies, see the Barefoot Landing FAQ.
The Market Common offers a polished, walkable Myrtle Beach shopping experience with a mix of national lifestyle brands, restaurants, entertainment, and public spaces.
Current retailers include Anthropologie, Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Barnes & Noble, and other fashion, home, beauty, and specialty shops.
The district is arranged more like a town center than a traditional mall, so visitors can stroll between stores, take a break at a restaurant or café, and enjoy nearby green spaces.
Free street parking and parking garages make it relatively easy to spend several hours exploring the area.
The Market Common can be a particularly nice choice for couples who want to combine shopping with lunch, cocktails, or dinner. For more ideas, see our guide to things to do in Myrtle Beach for couples.
Broadway at the Beach is one of Myrtle Beach’s most recognizable entertainment districts, but it also plays a major role in the Myrtle Beach shopping scene.
The open-air complex features specialty stores, beachwear, candy shops, novelty retailers, gifts, souvenirs, and recognizable brands mixed among restaurants and attractions.
Visitors can browse shops and then continue to attractions such as Ripley’s Aquarium or enjoy one of the many restaurants and entertainment venues throughout the complex.
This makes Broadway especially useful for families whose group may not want to spend the entire day shopping. Some travelers can browse while others explore attractions, and everyone can meet for lunch or dinner afterward.

When rain, heat, or cooler weather makes indoor Myrtle Beach shopping more appealing, Coastal Grand Mall is one of the area’s main climate-controlled retail destinations.
The mall’s current major anchors include Belk, Dillard’s, JCPenney, and Dick’s Sporting Goods, with Golf Galaxy and a variety of fashion, accessory, specialty, and dining options also represented.
According to CBL Properties, Coastal Grand spans more than 1.1 million square feet, making it one of the larger shopping centers in South Carolina.
The mall is a practical choice for visitors who prefer traditional department stores or want a shopping plan that is not dependent on the weather.
It can also work well as one part of a family day indoors. For more vacation ideas for all ages, see our guide to Myrtle Beach family activities.
Important correction from older guides: Bass Pro Shops is not located at Coastal Grand Mall. Its Myrtle Beach location is farther north at the Myrtle Beach Mall property.
At approximately two miles from Marina Inn, Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World is one of the closest specialty Myrtle Beach shopping destinations to the hotel.
The store caters to fishing, boating, camping, hunting, and other outdoor interests, with equipment, apparel, footwear, and accessories for travelers who enjoy spending time outside.
Bass Pro remains an active destination at the Myrtle Beach Mall property even as the larger surrounding site continues through long-term redevelopment.
Visitors should therefore think of this stop primarily as a trip to Bass Pro Shops rather than a traditional mall-shopping experience comparable with Coastal Grand.
The property also includes dining at Islamorada Fish Company and an AMC CLASSIC movie theater.

For a Myrtle Beach shopping experience that feels distinctly local, visit Gay Dolphin Gift Cove on Ocean Boulevard.
Operating since 1946, Gay Dolphin is a long-standing Myrtle Beach landmark filled with coastal gifts, shells, jewelry, collectibles, apparel, home décor, novelty items, and traditional beach souvenirs.
The shop spans multiple levels and dozens of individual shopping areas, giving it an intentionally maze-like atmosphere that can be as much fun to explore as the merchandise itself.
Gay Dolphin describes itself as Myrtle Beach’s oldest and largest gift shop, and its location makes it easy to combine souvenir shopping with a walk along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk.
Additional gift, candy, beachwear, and specialty stores can be found throughout the surrounding Ocean Boulevard area.
One important update for returning visitors: older descriptions sometimes mention a public rooftop observation deck. That top exterior observation area is not currently open to the public, so plan your visit around the shopping experience rather than rooftop access.
More background is available through the Visit Myrtle Beach Gay Dolphin listing.
If you have time for a longer outing beyond the main Myrtle Beach shopping districts, The Hammock Shops Village in Pawleys Island offers a very different retail experience.
The historic-style village is known for the Original Pawleys Island Rope Hammock and a collection of boutiques connected by outdoor walkways beneath mature coastal trees.
Visitors can shop for apparel, gifts, art, home items, outdoor goods, and Lowcountry-inspired products while enjoying a slower, more relaxed setting.
One of the signature experiences is seeing traditional hammock craftsmanship associated with Pawleys Island’s long rope-hammock history.
Because this destination is approximately 33 miles from Marina Inn, it makes more sense as part of a Pawleys Island or South Strand day trip rather than a quick shopping stop.
If you are staying long enough to explore beyond central Myrtle Beach, our Myrtle Beach 7-day itinerary includes more ideas for building full-day outings.
Just across the state line in Calabash, North Carolina, Callahan’s of Calabash is worth considering for travelers who enjoy destination gift shops.
According to its official website, the store spans more than 35,000 square feet and includes coastal home décor, apparel, gifts, homemade fudge, and the well-known St. Nick Nacks Christmas Shop.
St. Nick Nacks offers thousands of holiday ornaments and Christmas-themed items, making Callahan’s especially fun for travelers who collect ornaments during vacations or enjoy year-round holiday shopping.
Because Calabash is also famous for its seafood tradition, the trip can easily become a half-day outing combining shopping with lunch or dinner.
Current hours and visitor information are available on the Callahan’s contact page.
Boulineau’s adds a more local, practical dimension to Myrtle Beach shopping for visitors exploring Cherry Grove and the North Strand.
The business has been part of the Cherry Grove community since 1948 and offers a different experience from traditional malls and outlet centers.
Rather than functioning as a single shopping complex, the Boulineau’s family of businesses combines grocery shopping, bakery and deli items, beach necessities, hardware, apparel, coastal gifts, and specialty retail.
The broader collection includes locations such as The Barnacle Beach Shoppe and Ocean Treasures, giving visitors the chance to pick up both practical beach supplies and Myrtle Beach-area gifts.
According to Explore North Myrtle Beach, the operation has grown into more than 200,000 square feet across multiple businesses.
It is particularly convenient for travelers spending a day in Cherry Grove who want groceries, snacks, beach gear, and souvenirs in one area.
If your idea of Myrtle Beach shopping involves hunting for unexpected finds rather than browsing national retailers, head south to Hudson’s Surfside Flea Market.
According to Visit Myrtle Beach, the market features more than 400 sheltered vendor spaces, making it one of the area’s largest flea-market experiences.
Merchandise varies by seller and visit, but shoppers may encounter crafts, jewelry, collectibles, tools, coastal décor, clothing, antiques, and other bargain finds.
Because vendor participation can vary, no two visits are exactly the same.
The covered layout provides some protection from the weather, while free admission and parking make it easy to browse without committing to a major expense.
For the broadest selection, busier weekend periods may offer more active vendor participation, although current hours should always be checked before making the drive.
Coastal North Town Center is less of a sightseeing attraction and more of a convenient destination when you need practical shopping during a North Myrtle Beach vacation.
The open-air center includes retailers such as Publix, Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Dick’s Sporting Goods, PetSmart, and other national stores.
It can be particularly useful if you need groceries, clothing, beauty products, beach-house supplies, pet items, or a last-minute outfit while exploring the North Strand.
Free surface parking and familiar retailers make it a straightforward stop to combine with other North Myrtle Beach activities.
For a smaller-scale alternative to the larger Myrtle Beach shopping centers, explore The Shops on Main in North Myrtle Beach.
The Main Street area features local boutiques, specialty businesses, creative experiences, food stops, and small retailers that provide a more neighborhood-oriented shopping atmosphere.
Current businesses can be reviewed in the Shops on Main directory before visiting.
The area works particularly well as part of a broader North Myrtle Beach outing rather than as an all-day shopping destination. Browse local stores, stop for a treat or meal, and continue toward nearby Ocean Drive or other North Strand attractions.
Motorcycle enthusiasts looking for specialty Myrtle Beach shopping can make a stop at Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson.
The store focuses on Harley-Davidson apparel, riding accessories, gear, collectibles, and branded merchandise, including items that can serve as distinctive Myrtle Beach souvenirs for motorcycle fans.
It is an especially relevant shopping stop for travelers visiting the Grand Strand around motorcycle events or anyone who collects Harley-Davidson merchandise from destinations around the country.
Because inventory, store hours, and motorcycle-related services can change, check the official Myrtle Beach Harley-Davidson information before making a dedicated trip.
With so many Myrtle Beach shopping options, the best destination depends on what you actually want to buy and how you want to spend the day.
If shopping is only part of your getaway, choosing one or two destinations that match your interests will usually be more enjoyable than trying to visit every center on the Grand Strand.
Myrtle Beach shopping can be even more appealing for travelers visiting during South Carolina’s annual Tax Free Weekend.
According to the South Carolina Department of Revenue, the state’s 2026 Tax Free Weekend runs August 7–9, 2026.
During the weekend, eligible purchases are exempt from applicable state and local sales taxes.
Qualifying categories include items such as:
Not every purchase qualifies. Items such as furniture, smartphones, and some electronics fall outside the exemption, so review the official South Carolina Tax Free Weekend guide before making a large purchase specifically for the tax savings.
If your Myrtle Beach vacation falls during the tax-free weekend, major shopping centers and outlet locations may be especially appealing, although they can also be busier than usual.
A little planning can make a Myrtle Beach shopping day easier.
Check store directories first. Retail tenants change, so if you are looking for one particular brand, confirm that it is still at the shopping center before driving there.
Compare the two Tanger locations. Both offer outlet shopping, but the brand mix differs. Checking both directories can help you decide which center fits your shopping list.
Watch seasonal hours. Some stores, local businesses, and entertainment districts adjust operating hours throughout the year.
Plan around the weather. Barefoot Landing, Market Common, Broadway at the Beach, and the Tanger centers are primarily outdoor destinations. Coastal Grand Mall and Bass Pro Shops are stronger choices when you prefer climate-controlled shopping.
Consider parking before heading to Ocean Boulevard. Large shopping complexes generally offer free parking, while Boardwalk and Ocean Boulevard visits may involve paid meters or public parking lots.
Combine shopping with another activity. Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, Market Common, Pawleys Island, and Calabash all work particularly well when shopping is paired with dining, attractions, or sightseeing.
