Self-claimed “the avenue with everything”, Cedros Avenue Design District deserves all the praise it gets. This single strip offers a unique collection of homewares, fashion, accessories and jewellery by local designers and artisans stretched over two and a half blocks.
The district used to be the home to renowned architects, builders, designers and interior decorators, however over the past decade the avenue has evolved to include health and beauty, fashion and footwear, fitness and well-being, bistros and cafes, galleries, jewellers and gift shops, designers and architects.
This much-loved local shopping spot holds a luxurious seaside relaxed vibe, rather than the assumed grungy beach feel. However, once you are done with shopping up a storm, complete your day by taking a short stroll to Solana Beach to enjoy a colourful Californian sunset.
