Gate area near Terminal 1 security is where you’ll spot Beachwear Gift Shop at MYR.
This small post-security store sits in the main concourse of Terminal 1, an easy stop if your gate is in the low teens. It leans hard into “last-minute beach” gear: logo T‑shirts, flip-flops, towels, sunglasses, and basic sunscreen. Think tourist strip prices at airport levels: expect $20–$30 for shirts and $10–$20 for simple accessories.
Hours usually track flight banks, opening by the first departures around 5:00–5:30 a.m. and staying open until the last evening flights push out, often close to 9:00 p.m. You’re after souvenirs with “Myrtle Beach” printed on them, not high-end brands. Snacks and drinks are limited; for serious food, hit a restaurant or bar near your gate before wandering in here.
Inventory focuses on warm‑weather items: basic swimsuits, cover‑ups, inflatable beach toys, and kids’ trinkets printed with shells or palm trees. If you forgot a hat or rash guard and don’t have time to hit a Walmart on the way home, this place patches the gap, just at a markup. Electronics and travel adapters are minimal, so treat this as beachwear first, travel convenience second.
Tip: stop here after security but before you sit down at your gate; it’s easy to lose track of time, and lines spike 20–30 minutes before big departures.
