10 Gift & Specialty Shops in St. Augustine That You Shouldn't Miss
Saint Augustine is a luxurious, romantic vacation spot—you’ll find classic hotels and intimate restaurants. Those can be a dime a dozen, though. What sets Saint Augustine apart is its history—it’s the oldest European settlement in the U.S. And nowhere else in the world can you taste the waters of the Fountain of Youth Archeological Park (where Ponce de Leon may have landed). Who knows, if you vacation here, maybe you won’t need that Botox!

First time to visit, I'm a sucker for chocolate and candy shops. Popped in to check them out, turns out to be a smaller Florida chocolatier with just a couple of locations. Staffer "Jazzy" was awesome. Seems it might be the "locals choice" for chocolate. Broad selection of handcrafted chocolates most everything priced by the piece, or by the box. Tried a few pieces, they have some very creative offerings, very good in my opinion, and as compared to some of the other St. Augustine chocolate shop offerings. Apparently they source and process their ingredients in house. They also sell house made gelato and ice cream bars. Not a restaurant. A little hidden treasure. Recommended and I expect to return.
