The interesting exhibits, dioramas and interactive displays of this museum depicts the natural history of coastal North and South Carolina.

We enjoyed this place in that it told of the ocean currents, sea and shore animals and some history and heritage of living near the local coast. However, it had fairly limited exhibits and was overpriced for what you saw ($9.50 per adult). One room was even down a half flight of stairs without any way for handicapped people to see (Americans w/ Disabilities Act violation?).
2. River's Edge Golf Club

Arnold Palmer designed layout was selected by Golf Magazine as one of the top 20 "Best New Courses that you can play" in the United States.
Reviewed By usndon - Florida
Our group returned to Myrtle after a five year hiatus and Rivers Edge is one of the courses we wanted to play. We were not disappointed. The course is in great shape, the staff is wonderful and we had a great time. The only possible drawback is the par three 15th where the golfer is forced to hit 160 yards over the marsh from a mat. Other courses manage small tee boxes such as this, Rivers Edge can too. But that's a minor ding in a wonderful track. Play it.

I've stopped here about five times to fill up on some great coffee and a danish/muffin. They have a drive through as well as counter service. The interior has several places to sit, pull out your laptop and get some work done, or actually talk to your significant other.
I have no idea why TripAdvisor thinks this is an, "Attraction."
Right on Main Street in Shallotte. Friendly staff. I'll keep going back.

Cruise past North Myrtle Beach to just before SC/NC border on hwy 17 and Vereen Memorial Garden is on the right. A free park with many walking trials and wooden walks off the intercoastal waterway. A regular shown us 2 bald eagles the nest in the area and where we can see barred owls in the woods. It is dog friendly. It is truly a hidden gem. The park does take donations to keep it in the condition it is. We will be back for sure.

Very beautiful, well-kept beach area. The houses in this community are gorgeous and colorful. It's quiet because everyone renting these houses are hanging at the beach most of the time. The beach area is nice and clean. The ocean is breath-taking. The streets are flat, clean, and well maintained. My parents rent a house here often and spend a week here on vacation. They just took me here over the weekend to show me what all the fuss was about. It really is an awesome area! And there's places to eat nearby and its close to the city and Myrtle Beach! And if you travel north another half hour there's a lighthouse!
6. The Fancy Flea Antique Mall

Reviewed By roadhods
We've gone to this mall for the last 4 or 5 years. This year we found that they've added another building nearby. This is the typical antique mall with newer consignment items as well. We rarely leave empty-handed because it is possible to find some unique things. It's a bit crowded, but we've seen worse. Even though the word "fancy" is in its name, don't expect fancy. This is your usual mid-sized antique mall. Nothing is displayed really well, but half of the fun is digging around. There is adequate parking, a clean public restroom, and the staff is friendly. The second building isn't as full and we thought the stuff looked a bit newer. There's a treasure for everyone! It's always on our list of things to do when we visit Sunset Beach.

Like others have said, alot of the arcade games don't work, had trouble with our bowling lanes and the couches were dirty. Need I say more. Go to 710 Bowling in NMB. Maybe they should be reading folks reviews and do something about it.......Have never given out a 1 star review.

They tried to fit too many people at the tasting bar. Was over crowded and detracted from the experience. Staff was helpful, but one got pulled to check people out too. That left the other people with too many people and not knowing where you were on the tasting. Not impressed.
9. Brierwood Golf Club
Overall Ratings
4 based on 4 reviews
Brierwood features a mature 18-hole championship golf course that winds naturally through its coastal forest setting. Broad fairways and manicured greens are accented by numerous beautiful lakes and ponds.
Reviewed By Kelly I - Holden Beach, North Carolina
Despite dry conditions we often run into wet holes & have cart path only many times. This course has a lot of potential & could get a lot more place especially being that it is right in Shallotte. The drainage issues need to be resolved. That being said, the Clubhouse has been nicely renovated and they serve a very nice lunch, have a nice bar and go out of their way to accommodate the golfer.

Staying at my sister's place for the Christmas holiday, we were able to take a walk on the beach to the Kindred Spirit mailbox. We each left our names in the notebook. It was cute decoration with a Christmas decoration.
