OK, first and foremost this is primarily a tourist driven street, like many others in tourist town. It is lined with shops and restaurants looking to sell something mixed in with historical sites. However, that doesn't mean it's not fun to walk around looking. You don't have to buy anything, just look around, listen to the singers in the restaurants, see the City Gates and The Oldest School. Try resisting the candy shops, ice cream and cold drinks.....but it's not easy! Walk in the shops and look around, if you like looking and window shopping, why not! Look for the "off the main street" store front for handmade a colonial period clothing shop, it's like shopping for clothes in the 1800s! There are several jewelry stores we enjoy looking in, but J.R. Benet is our favorite. The people are friendly and helpful and jewelry unique and not priced too high. As many other reviews have noted the only real negative to a walk along St. George street is the homeless people. Although we've never had an aggressive encounter some have been mentioned and it is sadly an inevitability it will/can happen. You owe it to yourself to walk down St. George at least once on your visit.

Nice shops and restaurants mixed with old historical buildings. All local businesses. Plenty of coffee and ice cream shops. Stop in Hyppo for very unique popsicles. Steer clear of the skin products shop that entices you in with free samples and tries to sell you everything. Dont fall for that trap. Plenty of public restrooms to be found. Bin 39 wine bar is a lovely area to sit with a glass of wine ( no food) or have coffee at the local shop in that are as well.

It was really an enjoyable morning things open up around 9 o’clock. we got there early because it gets crowded afternoon. We enjoy the shopping and the people watching and the old streets. The fort is close by which is definitely worth a visit we didn’t even go inside because we’re cheap but there is so much to see on the outside. strongly recommend the shop of Earthbound nice young ladies, and an eclectic offering you don’t see other places

It is very crowded with a lot of dogs and some homeless people with very few places to park. It is definitely a tourist trap area, Some people won't like it but it is a nice walk with some nice shops, restaurants and some historic places thrown in to enjoy. There are a lot of benches along the street to sit on, if you need a quick break.

We've been visiting St Augustine for years and always come back. St George Street is one of our favorite places to stroll and visit the shops or stop in for a beer at one of the bars along the way. You can always treat yourself at the Columbia Restaurant centrally located on the street and one of our favorate restaurants in the State. Enjoy!

Street shopping was fantastic! Th street was very clean, plentiful shops that didn't repeat itself. Would recommend starting in the beginning of St. George St. and making your way down no tot miss anything.
