Meyer's Ice Cream Parlor, Surfside Beach

You are sure to find something for everyone when you visit Meyer’s Ice Cream Parlor, located off of Highway 17 Business near Myrtle Beach Resort and Surfside Beach.

Items include an array of Specialty Sundaes like “More S’mores,” featuring chocolate ice cream topped with hot fudge, marshmallow syrup, crushed graham crackers, mini chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a piece of Hershey chocolate bar. Aside from sundaes, Meyer’s also specializes in Banana Splits (with tons of possible combinations), hand-scooped and soft-serve ice cream, milkshakes and floats, cookie and brownie creations, and more. The options are nearly limitless whenever you stop by Meyer’s Ice Cream Parlor.

Our suggestion: Try the Chocolate Chip Cookie Creation, topped with your choice of ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, cherry, and an additional topping (nuts, sprinkles, chocolate chips).
