Description: On the east side of US 17, look for this interesting strip of specialty stores. There has been a great deal of changeover in recent years, but the new shops are just as fascinating.

20. Antiquing In Murrells Inlet
City: Myrtle Beach, SC
Category: Shopping
Description: With a deep history, Murrells Inlet is a great find for antiques collectors. Both US 17 Business and Bypass here are peppered with a number of antiques shops. This strip of the Grand Strand is less developed and more relaxed in atmosphere, brimming with history and full of Lowcountry color. The drive itself is pleasant and pretty. Begin at Wachesaw Row Antique Mall, just south of Inlet Square Mall on US 17 Business, where you can pick up a brochure that will list all the antiques shops. Also in Murrells Inlet is Legacy Antique Mall, where you’ll find estate jewelry, silver, and paintings.
