Crystal Cove Promenade
Crystal Cove Promenade Review
Further adding to Orange County's overwhelming supply of high-end shopping and dining is Crystal Cove Promenade, which might be described as the toniest strip mall in America. The storefronts of this Mediterranean-inspired center are lined up across the street from Crystal Cove State Park, with the shimmering Pacific waters in plain view. There is plenty of sidewalk and courtyard seating at this center that is both a regional destination and dog-friendly neighborhood hangout for the lucky locals.
Bluefin. This is the area's most renowned sushi bar. 7952 E. Coast Hwy., 92657. 949/715-7373. www.bluefinbyabe.com.
