You’ll find great deals shopping in St. Augustine all year round, but there’s something incredibly magical about doing your holiday shopping in the nation’s oldest city. First of all, our city comes alive each November with sparkling decorations for the Nights of Lights, an annual city-wide festival. And secondly, you never know what you’ll discover at our unique local boutiques, antique shops, and fantastic art galleries.
What better way to start your holiday shopping in St. Augustine than with a weekend or mid-week getaway? You can spend your days leisurely exploring St. George Street, Aviles Street, Anastasia Island, and the Outlet Malls. While your evenings can be dedicated to relaxing and resetting before the stress of the holidays begin. Thankfully, our St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast is the best place to do the latter.
The St. Francis Inn is in the ideal downtown location in St. Augustine. Our guests often set off on foot to view the nearby attractions and activities, and more often than not, they come back with shopping bags full of gifts and souvenirs from the local boutiques. Back at the Inn, you’ll love our cozy guest rooms, long list of complimentary amenities (including breakfast each morning and an afternoon of snacks and wine), and our welcoming hospitality.
