Abbot Kinney BLVD Shopping

One of the most beautiful, instagram-able streets I’ve been to! Each shop is decorated so beautifully and it’s so aesthetically pleasing. Most stores are kinda pricey so unless you’re willing to splurge, it’s more of a window shopping / randomly looking experience. Lots of restaurants down this street too. Many walls to take pictures at!

It's a very intricate, cute place with a lot of character and sweet people. many if not Al shops allow dogs to come in

The touristic place with little shops, cafes and fairs. Couple of good designers stores, but mostly over priced products and clothes from China.

Lively atmosphere. Restaurants. Dessert stops. Lots of independently-owned stores. Free street parking.

Great area to walk around... But everything is super expansive.

Very pleasant Street to walk, many interesting shops and incredibly yummy pizza.

Best shopping experience of our entire stay in LA. Dozens of interesting, independent boutiques, fun places to eat/drink (think coffee, artisan donuts and health smoothies), and awesome people watching. Something for everyone. Our teenagers loved it.

Abbot Kinney Blvd is one of the most long lasting, unique and beautiful areas to drop some cash. Even if you’re window-shopping and/or people watching I have to admit you’ll be entertained! Parking is a bit difficult in the immediate area, but if you’re willing to walk 3-4 blocks East of the Blvd you’ll be able to park for FREE (Just pay close attention to the street signs and write down the street address where you parked — Google Maps will guide you right back to your car). ;) Along the way to A.B. Blvd PLEASE take a gander at the small, mostly original cottages: Some look like rundown shacks, others have been restored to their original features, and take note of the modern homes (A.K.A: MANSIONS) that some owners have built after buying 2-4 plots of land! You’ll be very surprised what these tiny pieces of Venice Beach properties are selling for - $1-$10 Million and even higher! Once you arrive on the Blvd you find some great little Ma-and-Pa stores that sell original handmade jewelry, trinkets, memorabilia, etc., which used to be the primary Go-To for patrons; although now you’ll find mixed amongst these little homemade shops a plethora of high end, original storefronts that are selling GORGEOUS items of clothing, bags, purses and such! You’re pocket book may even be in the negative if you tend to splurge too much! *OUCH* Do yourself a favor and take your time to meander around... You might just find that perfect little “It’s my birthday” gift for yourself (minus you mortgage payment! 😉
