xxSavvy Shopping

One of the joys of this area is exploring the many independently owned shops and boutiques off the beaten track. In addition to St. George Street, St. Augustine’s pedestrian-only shopping thoroughfare in the heart of the historic district, numerous side streets beckon the adventurous shopper. Art and shopping districts continue to become established such as Uptown San Marco, comprised of the shopowners in the vicinity of San Marco Avenue, just north of the historic downtown district.
