I cannot imagine going to St. Augustine without spending time on St. George Street. There are shops and eateries to check out. Many of the pubs have live music and outdoor seating. There are some great ice cream places and historic places to visit as well.

I love walking down this street! I love the old city feel, I love the specialty shops. I could spend a whole day here just checking out every shop. I was not able to spend a lot of time here but will definitely come back to explore more of the old city. Will recommend this to ayone who visits St. Augustine!

Some of the Best Shops, Antique Stores, Restaurants, etc. on are St. George Street which is one of THE main streets going through the Old Colonial quarter of St. Augustine, Watch out for the 'Alley of Stores on West side of St. George which generally runs No-South, having some twenty stores with unique shopping - NOT your average go to the Mall stuff. This Long Hallway is easy to miss which is why it's mentioned ... but make you start at King Street End and walk all the way to the end of St. George which is closest to the Old Fort.

St George Street pedestrian street lined with shops and restaurants the length of it. There's plenty to see and do but it is a little bit of a tourist trap feel to it. Lots of artisans with wares and crafts for sale. Our favorites are the Kilwin's chocolates and ice cream (one at each end) and the Vino del Grotto wine shops.

This is a historic street that has been made into a pedestrian mall for almost a half mile. It contains many notable buildings but also LOTS of shops and eating/drinking establishments. It's best to get there before noon as the area gets really packed with tourists after lunch almost to the point of being unpleasantly overcrowded. It's a must see but once is enough.

One of those great streets to stroll down for a leisurely walk. Many good places to eat and you can grab some good music and an adult beverage. We like the Old Mill Tavern. No cars on St. George but watch the cross walks. No booze on the streets. Lots of window shopping or real shopping if you like. Many bed and breakfast hotels close by.

Strolling St. George Street is reminiscent of strolls in Charleston and NOLA, though each has its own character. Among the highlights are the St. Photios Greek Orthodox Shrine, the oldest wooden schoolhouse, and the cathedral which is in repair now and cannot be entered but is stunning. There are lots of quality fooderies for meals or snacks. Among my favorite retailers is the Art Glass shop with its own artisan on premises and an enchanting garden in the rear.

This is a great place and has something for everyone. Shopping, bars and restaurants, entertainment and more. We had a great experience there and went back several times during our 2 day visi.

Although this street is definitely a little touristy, it is still a nice place to stroll. Lots of restaurants, ice cream shops, bars, and stores. Some of the stores are selling tacky tourist stuff, but some are actually cute. The road is closed off to traffic and is cobblestone. Mid-week in chilly February, it was pretty quiet most of the time, but I could see this being more fun and interesting on the weekends. Colonial Quarter is located along this street so there are definitely some really touristy things including the two restaurants ("taverns") associated with the Colonial Quarter, but those were kind of fun places to stop for lunch or at least a drink at their bars. There is also a little spanish market that gives out samples of meat and cheese. Be sure to walk all the way to the end of the street where the old gates to the city are located (walking on St George St South to North - towards the Fountain of Youth - if you come the other way, they will be at the beginning of the street and it will end at King St right before you enter the Old City area).

Interesting. Many different types of shops but seems to have too many souvenir, resort clothing and jewelry shops.

this quaint Street closed to traffic so that shoppers enjoy a leisurely stroll in the shops. Modern convenience accepting credit cards & easy to find restrooms. There's great charm in the non-chain boutiques & we loved the gelato!! Make sure you find the square & grassy park at the end of the street. There's fantastic history to discover there!

Pedestrian only street in the Historic District of St. Augustine. Lined with shops of every description, selling a wide array of goods from art gallery quality items to handmade jewellery, from designer clothing to beach style clothing, shoes and sandals, handbags, toys, kitchenware, handmade soaps and bath items, candy, fudge, chocolate and wine, to Harley Davidson gear and cigars. Dozens of quaint bars, many with entertainment. Lots and lots of bistros and restaurants. The only difficulty is in determining what venue you are going to try. Well worth spending a few hours or the day. Suggestion, take a trolley tour first, see the old town, when finished go back, park and stroll the street and have lunch or dinner or both. You will be glad to have your vehicle close by without time restrictions.

Stopped in at the Beef Jerky outlet and picked up a package of the spicy treat. It is fun to taste a lot of different kinds. Also stopped in at the Panama Hat company. The woman who helped us KNOWS her hats. She was wonderful and very helpful . My husband got a beautiful hat and loves it ..he looks great in it. I got a cute cap also. A delightful place to shop.

I enjoyed walking down this street and looking in the shops. I am not much of a shopper and didn't buy anything but it was enjoyable to walk and look.

If you are in St. Augustine, take a trip to St. George St. to walk in and out of the little shops and restaurants and enjoy the sites and sounds of this history filled area. Enjoy and appreciate the old architecture and buildings...sit down, enjoy some ice cream and people watch. A pretty neat spot!
