Barefoot Landing was one of the first festival commercial developments in Myrtle Beach. It also happens to surround a historically sensitive environmental area between U.S. Highway 17 and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.

Working with the land and commercial planners we developed an environmentally sensitive master plan that included limited filling of wetlands, reservations for wildlife easements, vegetated buffers for wildlife activity, and pedestrian access to sensitive wildlife areas. Approval for construction in U.S. Army Corps of Engineers easements were made possible through alternate spoil basin developments that allowed a release of the Corps easements opening those areas to further development. A marina permit for floating docks along the Intracoastal Waterway was also obtained.

Barefoot Landing continues to be one of the most successful commercial ventures in the Myrtle Beach area. It is also one of the largest shopping complexes in Horry County, and is a focal point for numerous tourist attractions, including boat rides on the AIWW, live music, factory outlet shopping, restaurants, and specialty shops.
