Cedros Avenue Design District is a two-and-a-half block treasure hunt of art, style and design in the tiny town of Solana Beach, California. The eclectic collection of shops, galleries and cafes is defined by a signature row of boutique-filled quonset huts that once housed industrial manufacturing.
Today, the renovated steel buildings and mid-century modern structures provide an edgy, modern home to more than 85 shops, architects, builders, and interior decorators.
The merchandise ranges from inexpensive kitsch to vintage collectible, modern and high-end contemporary design.
Several shopping venues offer a collective of different boutiques all under one roof, which means you may end up lingering longer than expected. At least I did! Time got away from us as we leisurely wandered from shop to shop -not to mention lunch at the Zinc Cafe & Market (do go!). Before we knew it, it was time to head home and there was still so much left to see.
I was told there's a note-worthy farmer's market on the avenue every Sunday from 1-5pm. Sounds like a plan!
