Fashion Island at 401 Newport Center Drive, Newport Beach, California.

Pretty high end mall. Nice shops. Not too much to do for the young ones, I think they’re trying to make it more for adults. It’s very clean and has a great food court. Quite simply, there’s not much to do here for a low price. It’s very Newport. It’s a great mall though. Capacity doesn’t get too busy either.

This is probably one of the best, if not the best open-air shopping center I have been to. It has a great mix of restaurants and shops which means you do not have to travel far after a shopping excursion to fill your belly! I have not returned to South Coast Plaza due to their hectic crowds and their shop offerings that cater to tourists who are looking for luxury goods to take back home duty-free. Definitely better than south coast plaza in that sense. I will be back many times for sure.
