As a long-time local of the Myrtle Beach area, I’ve had my share of authentic beach treats. When I was pregnant with my first child, I had a banana split almost every day at Painter’s Ice Cream. Below are a few of my favorite family spots if you’re craving snacks in Myrtle Beach.

Original Painters Homemade Ice Cream

This is where Vanna White (Wheel of Fortune fame and North Myrtle Beach native) goes! Celebrity pictures can be seen lining the windows and it was voted Best Ice Cream by People magazine about 15 years ago, I have heard. This family-owned shop has been the go-to spot for Myrtle Beach ice cream since the 50’s. Many tourists visit for a cone every single night of their family vacation.

I couldn’t talk about sweet treats in the Myrtle Beach area without mentioning Johnny D’s Waffles and Bakery. This breakfast/lunch restaurant has the world’s best Pound Cake French Toast, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Pancakes, Cinnastax Pancakes (layered with cream cheese icing and drizzled with cinnamon sauce) and homemade Belgian waffles. Not to mention the Crab Cakes Eggs Benedict or even the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict! They offer an enormous menu with some of the best food and treats in town.

Wee-R-Sweetz

Growing up in a small resort town I have fond memories of walking the boulevard, enjoying the Pavilion and eating salt water taffy. Wee-R-Sweetz makes old-style salt water taffy right there in three locations. Fudge, brittles, gourmet apples and caramel popcorn too! It’s a great place for sweets and snacks in Myrtle.

The Donut Man

When on vacation in Myrtle Beach, it’s a good idea to keep a couple dozen donuts in your resort pantry for mid-morning and late-night snacks. The Donut Man near Family Kingdom (a favorite area attraction) has great coffee and 42 different donuts. They await your order…go through the drive-thru.

Boulineau’s

When talking about donuts AND area attractions, I must suggest you visit Boulineau’s in Cherry Grove! They have bakery inside (with delicious donuts), groceries, restaurant, houseware items, beautiful decorative accessories and nautical gifts. A must to see and eat when on vacation on the Grand Strand.
