Monarch Bay Plaza

Stopped here to grab a quick snack and take in the view.

There is a trail in the back of the plaza that connects to the trail connected to Salt Creek and Strands beaches. An eye dazzling safe hike that passes the Monarch beach Waldorf Astoria and the Ritz-Carlton.

We recommend for hiking and/or dog walking. Also a great bike trail if you are looking to go a little farther with views.

Nice plaza. Clean and maintained. Hidden gem behind the building for sunset or a nice place to park and relax.

Love this Starbucks, you can even see a little bit of the ocean from the lobby and from the tables and chairs out on the patio. Spectacular neighborhood and very clean as well.

Good area for the beach but wish the area had better ADA friendly paths

I was there to eat at Stella's. Ample parking, well lit lot, lots of retailers (like Gelson's), service providers (like dry cleaners) and restaurants ( like Stella's)

Excellent kids beach. Park.

Salt creek grill was good,great location.

So many nice little shops to roam around in

Stella's fine Italian dining is just perfect!!!

One of my favorite oc shopping plazas

Stella's is our long time favorite place for great service, food and clientele! Had a great time sharing food with great friends that will always be friends!

Very interesting, I really like this place, say compared to many, many shopping plazas around Orange County. Ample parking, well arranged for access to various shops, and of course the variety shops and quality. Very Nice place.
The restaurants are good mix, the grocery shop Gelson is truly top of the line and fun to do your grocery shopping - isles well arranged, neat, organized, friendly, professional, high quality, from fresh produce to ready food/meals section to the pastry/bakery, amazing management and service.
You have of course your CVS, wow, very friendly and helpful staff.
Tuo have your Starbucks, with lots of space.
You see, care, management, attention they really show even at running a neghborhood shopping center.
Good job folks, great service to community, thank you.

This is a great place to go a sauna, grab a coffee, eat dinner, get prescriptions refilled with family and friends.

Not really a coffee drinker but when I do I always want it made from this location staff is amazing friendly, quick and efficient even with the endless line of customers. The same drink made at another Starbucks doesnt taste as good as the ones made here!

Must luncheon @ Gelsons !!!! On the Greek lovely Terrace ! No waiting to eat ! Gourmet dining outside ! Not just a Speciality Market ! You see your food @ the amazing Deli ! Just pick what you want & sit in luxury & enjoy !

Nice plaza. It can park and run almost all my errands there. Get coffee, get my hair and nails done, buy my dog food, do grocery shopping, drop my dry cleaning, get gas, stop by UPS.... parking is easy.

Nice place to shop. Also has a walking trail behind Gelsons Market that goes to the beach!

Beautiful upscale affluent area. Always a nice area to visit, pass through.

Great plaza! Has a Gelsons, some excellent restaurants, beauty product shops (including nails), a CVS, a Starbucks, clothing, etc., etc.
Even a great gas station is just to it's side. I find myself coming here all the time.

Amazing shopping center. Perfect for getting prepared for a great day at the beach. This is as high class of an area as you can think of but for the most part everyone here is chill and has the beach vibe about them.
