Shopping on El Paseo

El Paseo in Palm Desert is the crown jewel of desert shopping — a mile-long boulevard often compared to Beverly Hills' Rodeo Drive. With over 300 shops, boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants, it's a destination in itself.

Beyond El Paseo, the valley offers The River at Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert's modern shopping centers, and Palm Springs' eclectic mix of vintage shops, mid-century modern galleries, and trendy boutiques.
