Santa Monica Shopping Destinations

Santa Monica, California shopping covers the spectrum, from Main Street fashion boutiques to 3rd Street Promenade name brand stores, from toys and games to art galleries, from fine jewelry to fine furnishings. Each of the city’s eight districts has a distinct character, whether it’s the pedestrian-only 3rd Street Promenade, the musical instrument strip of Pico Boulevard or the stylish, upscale merchants on Montana Avenue. Santa Monica Place, which celebrated its Grand Opening on August 6, 2010, offers visitors an exciting range of shopping opportunities, as well as an indoor/outdoor rooftop Dining Deck with a view of the Pacific Ocean. Whatever your pleasure, it can be found here.

And best of all: Santa Monica’s unique proximity to Los Angeles (we are only 13 miles (21 km) from the heart of downtown L.A.) affords visitors to Santa Monica the convenience of the entire Los Angeles shopping mix.
