One of the significant benefits of living in Santa Monica is the shopping, second only to the food. There is something for everyone on every budget, from street vendors, small and local boutiques, and shopping malls. There’s plenty of that, too – since Los Angeles is first in the nation for luxury homes, there is plenty of luxury shopping. Whether you’re looking to splurge on something for yourself or you have no limit on your AmEx, let’s look at the best luxury shopping in Santa Monica. Who knows, maybe you’ll see somewhere you’ve never been!
