South Coast Plaza

COSTA MESA. Whether you're on a brand-conscious mission or simply want to take in the bounty that is the OC, South Coast Plaza stands at the ready. The fashionable shopping center features Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's, and Sears as its venerable anchors and also mixes in places like Chanel, Burberry, Ermenegildo Zegna, Christian Dior, Jimmy Choo, Giorgio Armani, Pucci, Montblanc, Yves Delorme, and Versace. These luminaries are accompanied by a good selection of top-rated and more casual restaurants, both independent and chain.
