FIELD GUIDE
The story
Roadside America describes shoppers entering this Bargain Beachwear store through a giant shark's mouth. It places the store at 4307 Hwy 17 S., on the northeast corner of US-17 and Windy Hill Road in North Myrtle Beach, and says the entrance is "half-ringed with teeth".
Strange Carolinas wrote about it in June 2016, saying it "isn't quite as cool as the other giant shark mouth entrances in Horry County" but is "the only one with a double row of teeth". Roadside America also lists a shark entrance at Pacific Beachwear in North Myrtle Beach and one at Terrific Beach Outlet that it marks as gone.
