Antique Shops: St. Augustine
Spanish Main Antiques is Florida's largest shipwreck treasure coin, artifact, and nautical salvage shop, tucked into St. Augustine's historic district. Owner Marc Anthony and his salvage team bring in pieces from shipwrecks found both locally and around the world. This is not a typical antique store. You are browsing coins from colonial-era wrecks, nautical artifacts, and salvage relics with real provenance. The staff's combined 75+ years of experience in maritime salvage means the education alone is worth the visit.
Out There Antiques sits on US-1 just north of St. Augustine and packs 6,000 square feet with inventory from over 40 quality dealers. The store is known for constantly rotating stock, which means the selection changes dramatically between visits. The range covers everything from large statement furniture to small charm pieces, and the pricing tends to run lower than what you'll find in the historic district shops. Worth the short drive from downtown St. Augustine for the sheer volume of options.
Cool and Collected occupies a space on San Marco Avenue in St. Augustine's Uptown neighborhood, with themed rooms full of vintage clothing, kitchenware, furniture, and decor spanning the 1930s through the 1980s. Every piece is handpicked with an emphasis on authenticity and condition. The store is open daily and sits in the Uptown antique corridor alongside other shops, making it easy to build a full afternoon of browsing. The nostalgia factor is high, and the prices reflect the curated nature of the collection.
