Morning Brew with a View

Myrtle Beach now boasts three Starbucks locations along Ocean Boulevard – all providing the high-quality “Starbucks Experience” you’d expect to find at any of their stores, but each offering its own little wrinkle that makes it a go-to java destination.

Now in its fifth year of operation and the first Starbucks to come to Myrtle Beach, the shop at Breakers Resort (Ocean Blvd. at 21st Ave. N.) boasts a central location to get your coffee or latte, then walk across the street for an early-morning stroll along the beach. Uptown, the store at Long Bay Resort (7200 N. Ocean Blvd.) offers easy beach access and features an outdoor patio in front, perfect for using the free wireless Internet connection while you soak up afternoon rays.

The latest addition comes a shade downtown, at Bay View Resort (504 N. Ocean Blvd.). Here, you can get your joe to go – or stick around, catch a seat at the high bar along the 5th Avenue North side, and enjoy the ocean view from the inside (pictured). Right now, this is the only Starbucks location along the entire Grand Strand that offers such a convenience.

And when you leave Ocean Boulevard, there are several other Grand Strand locations where you can get your Starbucks fix, including:

• Kroger at Carolina Forest (3735 Renee Drive, Myrtle Beach)
• Piggly Wiggly at Carolina Forest (right across the street)
• Target (1150 Seaboard St., Myrtle Beach)
• 547 Hwy. 17 N., North Myrtle Beach (across from Gator Hole Plaza)
• Broadway at the Beach
• Coastal Grand Mall
• Piggly Wiggly at The Market Common (former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base)
• Piggly Wiggly Murrells Inlet (4430 Hwy. 17 Bypass)
• Litchfield Beach & Golf Resort
