Where We Eat, Sip & Play

Rick Sarver’s Myrtle Beach Favorites

A local look at the places that make Myrtle Beach feel like home, from oceanfront walks and coastal dining to everyday favorites around Market Common.

A local guide to life along the Grand Strand

When people begin exploring Myrtle Beach real estate, they often start with bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and views. Those details matter, of course. But the rhythm of daily life matters just as much.

Where will you take a morning walk? Where can you grab dinner after a beach day? Where do locals go when they want an easy afternoon with restaurants, shops, and space to unwind?

I’m Rick Sarver with The Sarver Group Coastal Carolina, and this edition of Where We Eat, Sip & Play highlights a few Myrtle Beach favorites that help tell the bigger story of living along the Carolina coast.

Walk, browse, and enjoy the oceanfront

Myrtle Beach Boardwalk

One of my favorite ways to spend a day in Myrtle Beach is walking the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. Stretching along the oceanfront from the 2nd Avenue Pier to the 14th Avenue Pier area, it is one of the best places to enjoy Atlantic Ocean views, browse local shops, grab a bite to eat, and soak in the coastal atmosphere.

The boardwalk captures so much of what people love about Myrtle Beach: ocean breezes, casual restaurants, beach access, entertainment, and that unmistakable Grand Strand energy. Whether you are visiting for the weekend, relocating to Myrtle Beach, or considering a second home near the coast, it is a great place to get a feel for the area.

Rick’s local note: The Myrtle Beach Boardwalk is a great first stop for anyone wanting to understand the area’s classic oceanfront lifestyle.

Damon’s Grill

For a relaxed meal near the beach, Damon’s Grill is a familiar Myrtle Beach favorite. It is the kind of place people remember because it pairs casual dining with the scenery that makes this stretch of the South Carolina coast so special.

Whether you are meeting friends, wrapping up a beach day, or looking for an easy dinner with coastal views nearby, Damon’s is part of the local Myrtle Beach dining conversation. For buyers comparing oceanfront condos, resort communities, and nearby neighborhoods, having restaurants like this close by is one of the lifestyle perks worth noticing.

Rick’s local note: When clients ask about Myrtle Beach restaurants near the ocean, I always remind them that the best coastal lifestyle details are often the simple ones: where you can eat, unwind, and enjoy the view.

Market Common Myrtle Beach shopping dining and outdoor lifestyle area
Shop, dine, stroll, and stay awhile

Market Common

Another favorite destination for my wife DeAnn and me is Market Common. It is a great place to walk, shop, catch a movie, relax for the afternoon, and enjoy one of Myrtle Beach’s most convenient lifestyle districts.

One of our go-to spots is Gio’s Pizzeria Napoletana, known for fantastic gluten-free pizza. The combination of restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and outdoor spaces keeps us coming back throughout the year.

For people searching for homes near Market Common in Myrtle Beach, this area has a strong everyday appeal. It offers easy access to dining, shopping, parks, bike-friendly streets, local events, and the beach lifestyle that draws so many people to Coastal Carolina.

Rick’s local note: Market Common is one of those areas that helps people picture daily life here, not just vacation life.
