B&B Antiques:B&B Antique Mall is definitely worth visiting. It has been voted number 1 on the Grand Strand 2 years in a row! Not only do they sell antiques, they offer wicker furniture, a country store, and a fudge kitchen. It’s a huge space so you can get lost in there for a while. Great way to pass the time in the rain.
Stay out of the rain at the Murder Mystery Dinner Theater!
