The Brunswick County Islands offer you a laid back atmosphere with quaint boutiques and novelty shops, unique "Mom & Pops" restaurants, and uncrowded pristine beaches. But with that you get the convenience of location. In less than an hours drive you can be in Myrtle Beach or Wilmington, two very commercialized coastal areas. You don't have to deal with the bumper to bumper traffic on a day to day basis. But you can take a day trip and enjoy the fabulous shopping and entertainment these two areas offer. So in essence, when you come here, you can have it all!
Myrtle Beach is a shoppers delight and is perfect for locals and vacationing families and friends who enjoy a variety of shopping centers, factory outlets, beachwear and specialty shops with the latest fashions, trends, and casual leisure-style clothing.
For those unfamiliar with Myrtle Beach, there are three famous shopping centers you definitely want to check out the next time you travel to the area: There's Barefoot Landing in North Myrtle Beach, Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach, and the new Coastal Grand Mall at Highways 17 and 501 in Myrtle Beach.
In addition, other good shopping centers and factory outlet centers are Colonial Mall, Tanger Outlets on Highway 17 in North Myrtle Beach and Highway 501 in Myrtle Beach, Inlet Square Mall, and the Waccamaw Factory Shoppes.
Wilmington and the surrounding areas include a wide range of shopping options, from one-of-a-kind boutiques to national chain mega-stores. Whether your tastes lean toward the traditional, eclectic, funky or old-fashioned, you'll find what you're looking for here.
Shopping centers, both large and small, abound and lure shoppers with aesthetically pleasing architecture, attractive landscaping, sculptured art, plentiful parking and upscale shops that rival those in any major metropolitan area. These multi-use commercial centers also include restaurants, office space and service providers. Near Wrightsville Beach are, Lumina Station, Landfall Shopping Center, Mayfaire Town Center and The Forum. Primary business and shopping areas for the Port City include downtown Wilmington, the College Road area, Market Street, Oleander Drive, Monkey Junction and the Military Cutoff/Eastwood Road area adjacent to Wrightsville Beach. However, don't hesitate to venture onto side streets, too, where you'll discover a host of shopping treasures and off-the-beaten-path gems.
You'll find that the Brunswick Islands are full of opportunities when you visit. Everything you could possibly want from a coastal area is right here or only a short drive away! |
