Corona del Mar Certified Farmers Market
PCH and Marguerite Ave
Corona del Mar, CA 92625
Saturdays 9AM-1PM
Some highlights of the Corona del Mar Farmers Market according to Yelp reviewers are the amazing fresh fish and selection of gorgeous flowers – the market has three different flower vendors. Nestled into the Bandera parking lot, this farmers market is cute and quaint with lots of good finds when it comes to fruits and veggies, however, they don’t have as many craftsmen and vendors as other OC markets.
