This place has it all! It is the most beautiful outdoor mall, with fountains, lights, greenery. Great shopping and plenty of restaurants are available. A large movie theater, outdoor screen, Ferris wheel, and other entertainment are located here. Our family especially loves coming here at night at Christmas time.

South Coast Plaza is definitely the best shopping mall in California. I found it refreshing that the three shops that we shopped at had really nice employees. They were knowledgeable and friendly. They always made us feel that our needs were most important. “Mars Li” in Georgio Armani was wonderful. Georgio Armani is very lucky to have him working there. Austin Schroeter in Ralph Lauren was very helpful and courteous. Yes you expect that kind of service in high end shops. But you don’t always get that. He even offered to carry my purchase out to our car. Sabrina in Escada was also very nice, helpful and knowledgeable. They each represent South Coast Plaza perfectly. That is why we love to shop there. They have a few hundred shops to choose from. Great quality shops. Plus lots of really good restaurants.

For only $5 you can tour the home of Ole Hanson, the founder of San Clemente. The home's design is a perfect match for the landscape. The rooms are bright and open, the pocket doors in the courtyard let in the sea breeze. Ole's office has great views of the ocean and the pier. There are historical displays of neighboring cities like Venice and Huntington Beach, the history of surfing and Indiginous People history. It was all very informative and interesting. A great way to spend an afternoon.

Bella Terra is located of 405 Freeway at exit at Beach Blvd. To experience the many great restaurants, Department stores, Coffee Shops and Century Theater, including Old World Center [Bavarian], Costco, Grocery stores and Staples and Barns and Nobel. To experience all that is offered one would want to book into Hotel Huntington Beach, or if more time is needed, lease a new beautiful apartment located right at the west side of the parking lot and parking garage. Parking is free. Bella Terra is quite different from the Shopping Centers in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach. Bella Terra feels more like a beautiful town dedicated to shopping and entertainment. And I am unanimous.
9. San Clemente Farmers Market

Farmers market first Sunday of each month. San Clemente is a cross between a surf town with a feeling of a little bit of Europe thrown in. It is a favorite day trip with the market, pier, shops, and restaurants. Love visitng the art gallery across the green space from the library for beautiful local art shows on display.. Walking down Avenuda Del Mar to the ocean and pier is a great walk.
