Bella Terra Shopping is an outdoor shopping mall in Huntington Beach, California. It was built on the site of the former Huntington Center, which was the first enclosed mall in Orange County. The mall was redeveloped in 2006 with a Tuscan-inspired design and a mix of retail, entertainment, and residential uses.

In 1993, JCPenney closed and was replaced by Burlington Coat Factory in 19951. Barnes & Noble also opened in 1995 in the former Barker Brothers building. In 1996, The Broadway closed due to liquidation and the wing between it and Burlington Coat Factory was sealed off. In 2001, Montgomery Ward closed due to bankruptcy.
