Come and glide with us on this unique tour thru The Market Common area. The Market Common is located in Myrtle Beach’s Market Common District which was formerly the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base that was shuttered in March of 1993. The transformation that has taken place is evidence of one of the best military base redevelopment projects in the country. Few of the structures original to the Air Force base that opened in 1956 still exist, but the streets are named for the heroes who shaped its history and that of the World War II Army Air Corp air field and bombing range that had previously been here from 1941 to 1947. Historical markers are placed throughout the Market Common District telling the stories of those heroes, military buildings that were once here, and historical events in which the men and women stationed in Myrtle Beach played a part.
Come and GLIDE with us at our Market Commons location. With over 114 acres, this multi-use site (which use to be the Myrtle Beach Air Force base) features some of the finest restaurants, retail and entertainment establishments, and residential properties complimented by beautifully landscaped parks, lakes and a public square located in Myrtle Beach!
Visit Warbird Park, Savannah’s Playground and many other scenic views as you glide thru Market Commons.
Tour covers approximately 8 miles!!!!
