Gay Dolphin Gift Cove

This multistoried oceanfront place bills itself as the World's Largest Gift Shop. Great place to kill a few hours, view modern high kitsch and old forgotten items. In it's hey day it was comprised of many annexes including the trippy basement "underground" which was full of halloween masks, black light photos, smurf crap, magic tricks and strobe lights. Once owned by a Depression era chiseler who couldn't resist a bargain, it's still a mish mash of sparkly modern fantasy mermaids and plastic resin lighthouses with many musty Myrtle Beach souvenirs and just plain strange crap. There are three-story tall glistening glycerin strings in the front of the building and an observation tower. [Nicole, 04/16/2003]
