Many of us love to visit our local farmers markets every week. But did you ever think about scouting out a farmers market while you’re on vacation? North Myrtle Beach is home to some of the best seafood on the East Coast, which you can purchase at our local farmers markets, in addition to a wide variety of produce and baked goods.
Visiting a farmers market is a great way to meet locals, eat healthily, and treat yourself to gourmet delights you won’t necessarily find at the grocery store. Many have artisan crafts for sale as well, so you might even find that perfect souvenir you’ve been looking for. And with all the attractions and activities in North Myrtle Beach, you never know what you’ll discover when you’re en route to the market!
