"America's Desert Playground" is the playground of movie stars, the well-to-do and a host of discerning sun lovers from around the world. This world-class resort city welcomes all to its warm sands and relaxed, village atmosphere. Downtown is the center of the social action. A stroll on Palm Canyon Drive offers shops, galleries and coffee houses. The mission-style architecture throughout the village is a big part of an ambiance that's sophisticated yet playful. Year-round outdoor activities, great views and a mountaintop restaurant make this city a favorite.
