Christmas Shopping in Myrtle Beach
More than just a shopping center, Barefoot Landing is an entertainment complex... but at s time of year, let's face it, we're wanting to shop!
Located just inside North Myrtle Beach, Barefoot Landing has been laid out almost as a small town, with quaint "neighborhoods," each with their own mix of quirky boutique shops, national brand stores, and quality restaurants. These in turn are anchored by the Alabama Theater, the House of Blues, and Alligator Adventure reptile zoo.
Boardwalks cross and border the lakes, offering wonderfully refreshing walks between areas.
The "neighborhoods" are ranged around a central 20-acre freshwater lake, starting with the Barefoot Factory Stores area, then the Dockside Village, Boardwalk Shops and finally Carousel Court.
Boardwalks cross and border the lakes, offering wonderfully refreshing walks between areas, and perfect spots to stop and watch the waterfowl, turtles and - yikes! - 'gators, while staying safely out of reach.
Bass Shoes, the Dress Barn, Geoffrey Beene, Izod, and Van Heusen are just a few of the name-brand outlets you'll find as you wander the Factory Stores. This is your chance to take advantage of factory-direct pricing and stock up on all those essentials you'll need all year.
While passing through the Dockside Village don't miss out on the international fine jewelry at Illusions, or the 10 and 14 karat gold and silver jewelry and outstanding watches and diamonds at Empress Jewelers.
And for those searching out a unique gift idea, the Mole Hole offers crystal, glass and porcelains that will surprise and delight friends and family on Christmas Day.
The Mole Hole is one of the few national chains to make a name for itself offering unusual, quality gifts in a friendly environment... it's certainly worth taking a look into!
At this point, you're probably getting a bit hungry... why not drop by the House of Blues, fill your belly and feed your soul? The House of Blues has become an international hit not because of gimmicky give-aways or glitzy owners... great food, great music, and good times are what have contributed to the runaway success of these restaurant-clubs.
Now it's time to get back into serious shopping mode, and head over to the Boardwalk Shops "neighborhood." Do you have a nephew or niece who can't get enough of animals? Then try the Alligator Adventure Outpost. You'll find exotic wildlife-themed gifts that are sure to make you their favorite relative!
Anything Joe's is anything your kids need... from hand-painted furniture THEIR kids will inherit to personalized gifts to clothes, pillowcases, piggy banks and ceramic items.
And when they say personalized, they're serious. For instance, how about getting a youngster their very own book rack? They're under $15, and that includes the child's name and one of twenty pattern selections. Anything Joe's is anything but ordinary!
Do you still remember what a sense of freedom, accomplishment and excitement you got from first flying a kite? If you want to recapture that feeling, or instill it in your own child, stop by Klig's Kites. They have everything that flies without an engine here... windsocks, banners, and every style, type and shape of kite you can imagine.
Barefoot Landing is all about making your gift shopping easier... after all, Christmas is just around the corner! Scandia House, nestled between Joe's Crab Shack and the Planet Hollywood store, has unique gifts from Scandinavia... and you know how imaginative those folks are!
Scents Unlimited offers tantalizing scents at sensible prices, while the House of Comfort can provide you with orthopedic beds, back-care products, and massage equipment. Between these two shops, you could bring the benefits of a Myrtle Beach vacation home with you!
The last of Barefoot Landing's lakeside neighborhoods is Carousel Courtyard, which tends to be a bit more whimsical than the others... Raining Cats & Dogs, for instance, only sells items feline or canine themed. That's right, cat or dog coffee mugs, t-shirts, books, calendars, ornaments - well, you get the idea.
Conley's House of Magic has supplies for magicians of all skill levels, stuff for beginners who are all thumbs to hard-to-find equipment for the experienced stage magician. But they're more than just magic, they sell fun. Juggling supplies, clown make-up and clothing, masks, novelties - it's all here!
On your way out, stop by River Street Sweets and reward yourself for the restraint you showed when faced with all these great things to buy!
Barefoot Landing has much more... we've
only been able to touch the surface of the great buys and unusual items
you'll find at Myrtle Beach's premier shopping, dining, fun-loving spot!
