Newport Beach Shopping

   Shopping at Fashion Island, southern California's premier open-air retail center, is no speed-through at the mall - it's a shopping experience! Flower-filled courtyards, a Koi pond surrounded by ivy-covered arbors, breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and a Venetian carousel give new meaning to the term "retail therapy." Fashion Island includes 100,000 sq. ft. of boutiques, restaurants and nationally recognized stores, including the OC's only Bloomingdale's and Nieman Marcus?

Explore Balboa Island’s main street, Marine Avenue, where quaint souvenir shops are interspersed with unique boutiques selling “island casual” couture. Wander the boardwalk that encircles the island and view the architectural mix of homes that make Balboa known as the “ Cape Cod” of the West coast. Learn how this man-made island was built, and see memorabilia of past residents – including old photographs and personal memoirs – at the Balboa Island Museum and Historical Society.
