Pirate’s Paradise

A souvenir hot spot for anyone looking for a place for things to take home that have St. Augustine’s historic vibe. Tshirts, shot glasses, magnets, ball caps, posters, maps, etc.
The shop itself has tons to look at and goes further back then first glance. We didn’t see any staff members other than the cashier, but given that it was a holiday weekend, it wasn’t super surprising and it was really busy.
Overall: B
Souvenirs galore!

This is your typical tourist trap shirt shop. But since this is a college town, it’s appropriate. The shirts are your usual gutter-​humor teenager types «as found in Spencers» and the little gifties that are lining the shelves are all affordable memories of a trip to St. Augustine. While I’m not very happy that it clutters up a really gorgeous building that could be better spent becoming a more upscale shop, I’m glad that there’s a store for the more frugal shoppers or the tourists toting several overtired kids looking for a distraction that isn’t ice cream (not dissing Kilwins, but how many cones can you eat in one weekend?)

Do you like –THINGS-​? You’ll find them here. Different tchochkies, things from all over the world. bags of seashells, t-​shirts, and lord knows what else. You can find just about any souvinere for anyone here in this shop.

If anybody is wanting to buy a shirt as a souvenir for visiting St. Augustine, this is the place to come to. The shirts on the shelves come blank because they print the design of your choice right in front of you. Once you pay for the shirt, they will add your design on your shirt for free. And there’s so many good choices to choose from, and it’s kind of hard to decide which one you want to do. If there’s a style of shirt that you like that’s not in the right size for you, they’ll proudly help you out and do everything they can to fulfill your needs. Now that’s very friendly service. I’m definitely wanting to come back to this shop soon and buy another shirt.

Located on historic St. George Street, this shop is a tourist’s dream. You’ll find just about every type of souvenir you can think of here from shot glasses to t-​shirts. You can even pick up some «Affordable Florida Oceanfront Real Estate» for $ 1.99 which is a little baggie filled with beach sand and some seashells. LOL Grab a postcard to send to a friend or family member, buy your kid a toy, or even get yourself a backscratcher for that itch you just can’t reach. I noticed everything was marked with affordable prices, so you won’t break the bank while picking up items for those back at home.
As for the t-​shirts and tank tops here, they do screen printing. Tons of designs to choose from. You pick the shirt and the design and it only takes them 30 seconds to print it on the shirt for you. I found one I really wanted to get my hubby… it was a bucket with bottles of beer that said «Working on my Bucket List.» But, they didn’t have any extra large tank tops. The nice woman who worked in the store said that they also do the screen printing if you bring in your own shirt for just $ 5.00. Not a bad deal.
Perfect shop if you are visiting St. Augustine and would like to pick up some gifts for yourself or others. Also not a bad place for locals if you happen to be in the market for an interesting shirt.
They get 4 stars from me rather than 3 because of their affordable prices.
