A Day in Myrtle Beach

Last week I wrote about how to spend a day in North Myrtle Beach. Elliott Realty has properties in Myrtle Beach too! We took some time to explore Myrtle Beach and want to share with you some places to eat, places to shop, and things to do. The list includes places for families and also activities for smaller groups. You may even discover some things you want to do by yourself and get that much-needed alone time that people crave on vacation. As always, we hope this helps you plan your Myrtle Beach vacation, hassle-free!

Croissants Bistro & Bakery

Croissants Bistro & Bakery is a popular eatery in Myrtle Beach and is perfect for the whole family! This restaurant was established in 1995. They serve breakfast, lunch, and brunch. The coffee beans are roasted in-house. Order a classic cup of coffee or try one of their seasonal flavors. There are three fall flavors that will warm you right up-the pumpkin pie latte, hot cocoa cappuccino, and the sweater weather latte. There is breakfast food for every palate. Order anything from omelets to pancakes. Lunch includes a variety of soups, sandwiches, and salads. The desserts will bring out the child in anyone. Indulge in red velvet cake or a classic chocolate chip cookie. Kids will love the pastel colors of the macarons. Check out their menu on the website, where you can even make an order to go.

Myrtle Beach Boardwalk

The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is the best oceanfront, one-stop destination for shopping, dining, and playing. Visit the Gay Dolphin Gift Cove, which has been around since 1946.

Soar over Myrtle Beach at 600 feet in the air. There is a ride for everyone at the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk.

Time to Eat

If you’re hungry for lunch, try a classic like Peaches Corner. Peaches Corner has been serving up burgers, hot dogs, and other favorite treats since 1937. Try a southern appetizer such as fried pickles or hushpuppies. Sit and enjoy the ocean view at Peaches Corner. They even serve ice-cold beer if you feel like having a day drink.
