Shopping
Shopping can be a bit like hunting for buried
treasure. Finding that perfect gift, fantastic
deal or one-of-a-kind item is half the fun.
Enjoying shopping with your friends and
family makes the purchase complete.
Shopping Secrets on Florida’s Historic Coast
Florida’s Historic Coast has many traditional
avenues for shopping like the area’s two
outlet malls but there are a few options you
might not expect. Here’s the secret to
getting the most of your shopping
experience.
Galleries and Boutiques
Outstanding Outlets
There are more than 20 galleries in the
historic district of St. Augustine where
you’ll find art of every style and genre.
Many local boutiques in St. Augustine and
Ponte Vedra Beach sell hand-crafted and
artisan items.
Before you scour St. Augustine’s two Outlet
Malls for great deals, visit the mall’s
information booth to get special coupons
and savings cards for valuable discounts at
the various stores.
Gifts of History and Culture
Check out the gift shops in the historic
attractions and museums. Many sell books,
keepsakes, household items and art that
reflect the history and cultural influences of
the area.
Fresh Finds
Golf Goods
Got a golfer in the family? The Clubhouse
at TPC Sawgrass has a pro shop that carries
the most extensive collection of PGA TOUR
merchandise in the country. It’s the only place
to get official THE PLAYERS Championship
clothing and gift items.
Farmer’s Markets aren’t just for produce
anymore. Find locally crafted gifts and
food items to take home to share. Florida’s
Historic Coast holds Farmer’s Markets in the
mornings every Wednesday at the
St. Augustine Beach Pier and on Saturdays at
the St. Augustine Amphitheatre.
Artisan Foods
Wine. Chocolate. Spirits. Spices. Tasty gifts
are the best! Include the San Sebastian
Winery, St. Augustine Distillery and
Whetstone’s Chocolates on your
shopping list.
