If you’re staying at Caribbean Resort and Villas, you’re just minutes away from some of the tastiest candy shops in town. Here are the top spots to check out on your sugar-filled adventure.
I Love Sugar
If candy stores had a king, this would be it. I Love Sugar is an over-the-top candy emporium located right along the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk. With giant gummy bears, walls of sour candy, and a mind-blowing variety of sweets from around the world, this place is as much a visual experience as it is a sugar rush. Don’t miss the towering candy dispensers!
River Street Sweets
Originally from Savannah, GA, River Street Sweets brings Southern charm to Myrtle Beach with hand-dipped pralines, creamy fudge, and fresh saltwater taffy made right before your eyes. The nostalgic scent of caramel and chocolate hits you the moment you walk in, and it’s impossible to leave without a box of something delicious.
The Fudgery
At The Fudgery, candy-making becomes a show. Known for their interactive fudge-making performances, this shop is all about fun and flavor. Try samples of their classic chocolate or peanut butter fudge, and be sure to grab a slab to go. They also offer caramel apples and other gourmet goodies perfect for gifting (or keeping for yourself).
Sugar Life Ice Cream and Candy Bar
Part candy shop, part Instagram dream, Sugar Life is a colorful haven filled with novelty sweets, retro favorites, and more. In addition to their candy walls and creative gift options, they serve up insane milkshakes and sundaes that look like they belong in a food magazine. It’s a family favorite and a great place to cool off with a sweet treat.
Wee R Sweetz
Wee R Sweetz has been a Myrtle Beach staple for decades, known for its handcrafted taffy, brittles, and homemade candies. Everything is made fresh and often right in front of you.
