Myrtle Beach Tanger Outlets
If shopping is always on your itinerary, even during your vacation, you’ll find that The Grand Strand is a great place to shop, especially if you’re in search of a bargain or two. Shops are scattered all over the city and beyond, but none are quite as popular as those in the Tanger Outlet Center, a huge complex located in Myrtle Beach just off Highway 17.
Open year round, the Tanger Outlet Center includes more than 100 brand name outlets for shoppers to explore. Often, buses full of shoppers arrive at the outlets from all around the area and the complex eagerly welcomes groups of tourists, providing them with coupons and other perks to enhance their visit to the outlets.
