8 Great Spots for Holiday Shopping in the Myrtle Beach Area

No matter how many friends and family members are still on your Christmas shopping list — and no matter what you’ve chosen to track down for each of their Christmas presents — it’s a safe bet that the many shops and stores in the Myrtle Beach area have your needs covered.
