Where are the best boutiques in St. Augustine?

Most visitors start on St. George Street, which runs from the City Gate to the Plaza, then move to Aviles Street and Hypolita Street for smaller galleries and jewelry. Uptown San Marco Avenue has antiques and home goods. Across the Bridge of Lions, Anastasia Boulevard and the beach have surf and coastal shops. Locals also shop the Shoppes at Murabella near World Golf Village and the stores around Palencia.

What are good shopping areas in Ponte Vedra and Nocatee?

Sawgrass Village on A1A in Ponte Vedra Beach is the main cluster of boutiques, with resort wear, golf gifts, and home decor near TPC Sawgrass. Nocatee Town Center has neighborhood boutiques and gift shops that serve the families there. The CR 210 corridor and Durbin Park have more chain stores but a few independents mixed in.

What makes a good St. Augustine gift for someone out of town?

Datil pepper sauce and products are the signature local flavor. Beyond that, books on the city's history, prints and paintings by local artists, shell and sea glass jewelry, Spanish and Minorcan themed items, and anything from the local coffee roasters and distillers travel well. Many shops bundle these into boxes you can ship.

Are St. Augustine shops open on Sunday?

Most downtown shops are open Sunday, usually with shorter hours, often noon to 5. Monday is the most common closing day for small shops. Hours stretch later during Nights of Lights from mid-November through January and during busy spring weekends. Call or check the shop's social media the same day, since small stores change hours often.

Do local boutiques do gift wrapping and shipping?

Many do both. Gift wrap is often free or a few dollars, and shipping within the US is usually charged at cost plus a small handling fee. Ask about this in early December, when several downtown and Ponte Vedra shops set cutoff dates for guaranteed holiday delivery.

Is there sales tax on clothing in St. Johns County?

Yes. Florida charges 6 percent state sales tax and St. Johns County adds a local surtax, so most purchases are taxed at 6.5 percent in 2026. Florida runs a back-to-school sales tax holiday most years in late summer that exempts certain clothing and school supplies under set price limits. Dates and limits change each year, so check the Florida Department of Revenue.
