The Best Hotels & Resorts Near Market Common
The former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base has undergone an amazing transformation since closing three decades ago. In its place on the southside of Myrtle Beach has blossomed the Market Common, a 114-acre complex filled with top-notch shopping, dining and entertainment. Major retail outlets of big-name brands line the metropolitan landscape of low-key store fronts and quaint bars and restaurants. Enjoy a beverage at a local brew pub (Gordon Biersch, Tidal Creek Brewing), have lunch or dinner at a popular eatery (Crepe Creation, P.F. Chang’s), play pool, bowling and other games at 810 Billiards, or catch a movie at the Grand 14 Stone Theatres. The complex includes War Bird Park, a tribute to the planes and service members stationed in Myrtle Beach, and Grand Park, one of the largest sports facilities on the Grand Strand.
