Shopping at Tanger Outlets — For those who love to snag a Christmas-list bargain, one of the area’s top destinations for shopping deals — Tanger Outlets — offers not just one, but two sprawling locations on the Grand Strand, each featuring more than 75 stores. And, because the outlet stores allow manufacturers to sell products directly to consumers without the typical retail middleman, they are able to offer deep discounts to shoppers. Check out all the giant national retail names — as well as the mom-and-pop boutique shops — available at the Highway 501 outlet center and the Highway 17 outlet center.

Christmas Shows — The Myrtle Beach area is well-known for its spectacular holiday performances, and this year is definitely no exception. Lift your holiday spirits with Christmas shows at Legends in Concert, The Carolina Opry, the Alabama Theatre and Pirates Voyage.

New Year’s Eve Events — A number of local attractions are hosting exciting celebrations this New Year’s Eve, and any of them would be a great way to usher in your 2019. Among the top options are the New Year’s Eve Stroll Under the Lights at Brookgreen Gardens, New Year’s Eve on the MarshWalk, A Southern Times Square at The Market Common, and end-of-year fireworks shows at Barefoot Landing and Broadway at the Beach.
