In mid August 2022, My family and I are driving to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for 3 nights and 4 days then off to Charleston South Carolina. Any hobby shops that sell O scale/Lionel that I should be aware of?

Yes, visit both the Charleston Area Model Railroad Club CAMRC located at the Citadel Mall and since you specifically asked, one of the club's sponsors Train Town Toy and Hobby in Summerville. The club hosts O, HO, and N scale layouts with the O scale being about 75 feet long and 8 independent tracks. We are currently open for visitors 3 days per week and might be back to 4 by then if we can get volunteers to open the additional times. The hobby shop in Summerville is open Wed through Sat.
I also recently visited the Myrtle Beach club called Grand Strand Model Railroad Club GSMRRC located in the Mall there. Very nice club as well.

Only one hobby shop in MB that has trains but the selection is very small and no O gauge. The two local hobby shops mostly sell radio control cars and airplanes.
Enjoy your vacation.
Not that I have found. As Vernon said, do visit the Grand Strand club layouts - worth the side trip. Have fun.
I’ve lived in MB for 4 years now. No O gauge in the 2 hobby shops here. Closest one is in Summerville SC outside of Charleston. Nice shop. A little on the small side but has a nice selection of O gauge. There are 2 clubs to check out. One in Myrtle Beach and one in Charleston as Vernon Barry said. We do have a few of us here that are attempting to start an O gauge club but it taking time to get it off the ground. Any one interested? Enjoy your your trip here.
