10 Things You Can Reach in 10 Minutes (or Less) From Seawatch Resort
Staying at Seawatch Resort isn’t just about oceanfront views and laid-back vibes—it’s about unlocking a miniature “best-of-the-Grand-Strand” radius. Thanks to the resort’s sweet spot between Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach (just off Hwy 22 & Kings Rd), you’re never more than a coffee-run’s drive from food, fun, and famous attractions. Pop open Google Maps and you’ll see every stop below is five miles or less from your condo door!
1.
Tanger Outlets – Hwy 17 (2 mi / 5 min)
Name-brand steals on flip-flops, golf polos, and beach bags—plus Starbucks for pre-shop fuel. Park once, stuff the trunk, and still be back before the next tanning session.
2.
Barefoot Landing (4 mi / 8 min)
Boardwalk boutiques, gator feedings at Alligator Adventure, sunset wine flights at Duplin Winery, live music on the Intracoastal—and parking is free. Nightly fireworks on peak-season Mondays.
3.
Carolina Opry & Time Warp Shows (3 mi / 6 min)
Award-winning variety show by day, 60s–80s rock revue by night. Skip the downtown theater traffic; be in your seat with popcorn before the opening curtain.
4.
Apache Pier & Croakers Grill (1.5 mi / 4 min or beach-walk it!)
The East Coast’s longest wooden pier, an easy stroll north. Fish for Spanish mackerel, grab a hush-puppy basket, and catch free summer concerts stretching over the surf.
5.
Arcadian Shores Golf Club (1 mi / 3 min)
George Fazio-designed track with deep bunkers and brand-new clubhouse. First tee shot to Seawatch balcony coffee? Under three minutes—beat that, resort row!
6.
Restaurant Row – Hwy 17 (2 mi / 5 min)
From locals-only Calabash seafood at Chestnut Hill to hibachi at Nakato and prime rib at Chuck’s Steakhouse—all clustered between the Intracoastal and ocean swash.
7.
Black Drum (10 minute walk)
Close and nice atmpshpher. A short walk west from the resort. Pizza BBQ plus a nice bar.
8.
House of Blues & Alabama Theatre (4 mi / 8 min)
Grab gumbo at the HOB Smokehouse, catch a national touring band, or duck next door for Alabama Theatre’s family comedy and music production.
9.
Kroger Marketplace + Publix (1.5 mi / 4 min)
Stock the condo kitchen without braving crowded tourist mega-marts. Both stores offer curbside pickup—order on the drive in, swing through, done.
10.
Ocean Annie’s Beach Bar (Beach-walk, 10 min south)
Live bands, frozen drinks, and dancing on the sand—an iconic Myrtle memory within flip-flop range. No car keys required!
