Corona del Mar Plaza’s Unique Upscale Shops and Restaurants Cater to the Southern California Lifestyle

Located off Pacific Coast Highway and Avocado Ave., Corona del Mar Plaza features a splashing fountain, olive trees and Mediterranean architecture, setting the scene for a unique offering of upscale stores and restaurants that cater to the Southern California lifestyle.

For a true OC experience, visit the new Jack’s Surfboards, an Orange County surf institution with the hottest gear and accessories; and don’t miss the hot boutiques, such as Diane’s Beachwear and Bikini. Other popular stores include Three Dog Bakery, for pampered pets and their owners, and White House/Black Market, with designer fashions and looks from casual to eveningwear. Brighton Collectibles, Chico’s, Tommy Bahama, Waterworks and Sur la Table are also favorite shops. Sprinkles Cupcakes, a favorite of celebrities, is also a “must” to enjoy a sweet treat.

There are also numerous exclusive boutiques at Corona del Mar Plaza, including Mi Place, and Antonia, A Shoe Boutique, with a wide variety of designer shoes exclusive to Orange County. Fine leather furnishings and hand blown glass can be found at The Italiano Home Store.

After a day of shopping, relax and enjoy the patio of Gulfstream Restaurant, where olive trees offer shade by day and an outdoor fireplace adds to the ambiance at night. Gulfstream was inspired by America’s classic seafood houses, and diners enjoy the exhibition kitchen and exciting atmosphere. Evoking the feeling of the islands, Tommy Bahama’s Tropical Café & Emporium is another favorite for lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch.
