The warm Florida sun warms your shoulders while you wander from store to store. In Mallory Square, vendors sell little trinkets like wind chimes, spoons, mugs, seashells, leighs, sandals and other touristy items from small stands. In back, visitors can pose with the old ship, Mary, carefully avoiding the tar, and browse through items in the Sponge Market. After shopping, the Aquarium and the Shipwreck Historium are within easy walking distance. Or, explore the depths of the ocean while snorkeling or peering through the windows of a glass-bottom boat.
