They have all the designer name brands and are up to date on the latest fashion trends. So many yummy things to eat also. Where comfortable clothes and tennis shoes lots of places to go.

Mega-mall draws shoppers and tourists with a staggering array of stores, restaurants and entertainment.

by Contributor

The Scene
Far beyond your ordinary shopping mall, South Coast Plaza is a shopping, dining and entertainment complex featuring two separate enclosed malls that sprawl over a vast property, encompassing luxury hotels, dozens of restaurants, banks, fountains, art gardens, theaters--even two turn-of-the-century carousels. Virtually a small city, this is not only one of the largest malls in the world, but a tourist attraction around which some visitors plan their vacations.

The Goods
It may be 40 miles south of Beverly Hills, but this tawny-colored shopping hub rivals both the Beverly Center and Rodeo Drive with a mix of indoor and outdoor settings, more than 300 shops (including such exclusive stores as Gucci, Versace, Barneys New York, Hermes and Cartier) plus nine anchor department stores such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's.

• Cons: Long walk to the Crystal Court across Bear St.

THE BEST

by cambird

Hands down the best mall in Orange County. So many shops you won't know what to do with yourself, except wander around and squander your life savings. You'll like it.

Shop til You Drop!

by katieb90210

It's one of those destinations that you've got to go to. Incredible variety of great things... prices are bit high... but what do you expect... it's the center of the OC. Good to see what the latest fashions are from all the designers... but you can do some bargain hunting outside South Coast Plaza.

• Pros: Good Variety, Designer Labels
• Cons: Expensive, Crowded

Beautiful...for a mall

by roseygirl

My friend and I decided to stop here after visiting a friend nearby. We had a little difficulty finding it - despite all the hub- but eventually I was teaming with goosebumps. I like shopping...and I found the Nordstrom here to be the best of the other SoCal locations. I thought Sears seemed more than a bit out of place - it's so utilitarian. There's plenty of places to eat within the restaurant, and surrounding the immediate area of the mall. Overall, a good mall experience.

• Pros: lots of stores, BH boutiques
• Cons: expensive, not ez to find

Got $$???

South Coast Plaza does have a variety of things being a mall, but MOST of the things there are of high ends! They have almost everything else that any other mall has (i.e. candy stands, clothing, shoes, disney, jewelry, etc, etc) HOWEVER I think this shopping center is more for those who have extra money to blow out $100 on a pair of pants! Other than the shopping, the food is average, and I go there to eat!

• Pros: Big, Variety
• Cons: Expensive
