On Wednesdays and Sundays, Coquina Beach hosts a market where visitors can buy all manner of handmade and local produce such as crafts, jewelry, and specialty foods. There's usually a live musician serenading shoppers as they browse, adding to the atmosphere.

Shopping
High end Shopping and restaurants available!
Beautiful mall with every store you can imagine. There are so many options and types of stores you shouldn’t have a problem finding whatever you are looking for. Especially nice during the holidays with wonderful holiday decor and Santa pictures in the middle for the kids. There are also many restaurants to have lunch or dinner while you are there. By far the nicest mall in the Tampa/St Petersburg area.

Their hours of service are from 12:00 pm to 3:00 am every day which is perfect for those who love late night outings.
