Top Attractions in Cherry Grove, SC

Boulineau’s IGA

While often associated with the wider Grand Strand area, it's important to clarify that Boulineau's IGA is actually a long-standing institution located in North Myrtle Beach (specifically the Cherry Grove section), not Murrells Inlet. This independently owned grocery store is far more than just a place to buy groceries; it's a unique, multi-faceted shopping experience that has been serving beachgoers and locals since 1948. Spanning several blocks, it offers an extensive selection, including fresh produce, a full-service meat counter, a fantastic seafood market (they'll even steam your shrimp for free!), and a massive deli with prepared foods and a hot food bar featuring their "Famous Fried Chicken." Beyond food, Boulineau's also houses a large gift shop with beach necessities, souvenirs, and resort wear, making it a one-stop shop for almost anything you might need during a beach vacation. Its friendly staff and diverse offerings have made it a beloved landmark and a must-visit for many returning visitors to the northern end of the Grand Strand.
