St George St — Local services in Saint Augustine

Definitely something you should visit at least once when in St. Augustine. We toured Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, had drinks at Meehan's and went down St George Street to Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine. There are so many cute and interesting and unique shops there. Anything from swords, to steampunk, to candy and python jerky.

I don’t think all of the shops were wheelchair accessible but that was fine with me. I would stay outside and guard the street while the crew did their thing. Overall it was enjoyable and I would say 3.5 stars overall. You should visit it at least once during an...
