Before the arrival of Broadway at the Beach was the Strand’s original high-concept retail and dining complex, Barefoot Landing (4898 Hwy. 17 S., 843/272-8349, www.bflanding.com, hours vary). It’s less flashy on the surface and certainly more tasteful, but trust me, it’s just as commercial.
Alligator Adventure may be one of the most popular attractions, but the centerpiece of the two-decade-old entertainment and shopping complex is The Alabama Theatre, a project of the famed country/western band of the same name, who despite their eponymous roots actually got their start gigging in juke joints in the Grand Strand.
A stone’s throw away is the House of Blues (4640 Hwy. 17 S., 843/272-3000, www.hob.com), bringing in name acts on an almost nightly basis (as well as diners to its excellent restaurant).
And on some nights you can pose for a picture with a real live tiger cub on your lap at T.I.G.E.R.S. Preservation Station (843/361-4552, www.tigerfriends.com, hours vary). Shopping is mostly the name of the game here, though.
