Start planning her getaway by reserving the perfect beach house, condo or hotel suite in North Myrtle Beach. For generations, moms have appreciated the relaxed, easy-going attitude of our unique seaside neighborhoods, each full of things to do, places to eat and ways to relax.
And while she’s here, make her feel extra special! Here’s our list of five ways you can celebrate your mom, aunt or grandma in North Myrtle Beach this Mother’s Day weekend.
1. TAKE HER SHOPPING
One way to make this Mother’s Day weekend all about her is by taking her shopping! In the heart of North Myrtle Beach, discover Barefoot Landing, a 100-plus-acre shopping, dining and entertainment epicenter. Home to unique stores and shops situated along a beautiful waterway, she could—and will probably want to—spend a whole day exploring Barefoot Landing.
If she loves one-of-a-kind treasures and trinkets, take her on a stroll around Main Street. Full of locally owned boutiques, like Hope Taylor & Company and the Gallery on Main, North Myrtle Beach's Main Street area has been named one of the "25 Best Small Town Main Streets in America" by Country Living magazine.
If she is a bargain hunter, don’t miss Tanger Outlets, located just around the corner from the mall and features more than 90 outlet stores offering designer looks at discounted prices.
And with Broadway at the Beach and The Market Common both located a short drive away in Myrtle Beach, there’s no doubt she can shop until she drops this Mother’s Day weekend.
2. HELP HER GET SOME OVERDUE R & R
Moms are usually overdue for a little rest and relaxation. This Mother’s Day, why not treat her to an afternoon of pampering at Touch MedSpa? One of North Myrtle Beach’s premier medical spas, Touch MedSpa specializes in a wide variety of rejuvenating spa services. If a spa day complete with a deluxe mani pedi is just what mom needs, make her a reservation at Cinzia Spa. For busy moms on the go, check out their Self Care Express package, designed to have mom refreshed and relaxed in just over an hour!
Finish off this relaxing afternoon by taking her to Duplin Winery for a wine tasting. After, she can enjoy a happy hour on the wineries' patios or purchase a bottle of her new favorite label as a souvenir.
3. TAKE HER TO A SHOW
Whether she's is into Elvis, gospel music or comedy, there is something for everyone in North Myrtle Beach! In fact, the entire Grand Strand area is chock-full of exciting entertainment, including dinner shows, live music and world-renowned performances.

4. TREAT HER TO A DELICIOUS MEAL (OR TWO)
What mom wouldn’t love a break from the kitchen? In North Myrtle Beach, there are amazing restaurants to suit every taste and budget. And, with North Myrtle Beach’s perfect position between the Atlantic Ocean and scenic inlets and waterways, mom can enjoy a fresh and delicious meal that comes with a beautiful view of the water.
Treat mom to a delicious Mother's Day Brunch in North Myrtle Beach. Restaurants like Souffle's, Local on the Water, and Blueberry Grill serve up delectable dishes that are sure to leave mom's heart, and belly, full! For more fun dining options, Taco Mundo and Crooked Hammock Brewery are serving up specials for mom all day long. While you're there, cheer mom on at Crooked Hammock's "moms-only" cornhole tournament in the afternoon!
While you’re browsing menus, remember that Mother’s Day is one of the busiest days for restaurants, so make reservations if you’re able and be sure to arrive early!
Feeling adventurous enough to prepare mom or grandma a home-cooked Mother's Day brunch or dinner? One of the best parts of staying in a beach home or condo is having access to a full kitchen. While you handle the cooking, have mom relax on the porch and enjoy the view while savoring a cup of coffee or glass of local wine.
5. TAKE HER ON A SURPRISING ADVENTURE
Make this Mother’s Day weekend one she won’t forget! For a one-of-a-kind experience, go horseback riding on the beach with mom at Inlet Point Plantation, where you’ll trot through sand and surf on undeveloped and picturesque Waites Island.
Interested in a more relaxing activity? Take a morning stroll with mom at a charming local park, like Heritage Shores Nature or Vereen Memorial Gardens in nearby Little River. And, of course, don’t forget to make sure she spends plenty of time on nine miles of our beautiful beaches, which are easily accessible.
