Shopping in Costa Mesa is certainly no ordinary event. The new "Bridge of Gardens" takes you to both sides of South Coast Plaza where you’ll take advantage of open-air plazas, fountains and sidewalk cafés that merge together to create the ultimate shopping experience.  Visiting South Coast Plaza is a virtual global tour that takes you to seventeen countries plus 270 marquee stores and restaurants.

There are many other shopping options within walking distance.
Adjacent to South Coast Plaza is the charming South Coast Plaza Village. For a refreshing break, the Village is known for its variety of intimate sidewalk cafés and fine restaurants.
The open-air Metro Pointe at South Coast offers a movie theater, unique restaurants, apparel, home-accessory stores and more.

South Coast Plaza has also recently created a website specifically for travelers, which includes brochures in English, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean.  The site also includes details on concierge services, local attractions and directions.
