Why you should go: Every vacation needs a keepsake, so why not make it something truly one-of-kind from a local maker? Conway Glass, for example, creates custom ornaments and other blown-glass treasures; contact them to view their studio, commission a work of art, or if you’re feeling crafty yourself, attend a workshop. Stop by Village Surf Shoppe in Garden City Beach to see their handiwork in action in the form of surfboards made on site. (Tip: If you want a custom board of your own, you’ll need to reach out four to six weeks in advance.) Finally, bring Myrtle Beach’s relaxed vibe home with a hammock from the Original Hammock Shop on Pawleys Island, where weavers have been fashioning the iconic nets since 1938.
