The Historic Sandpoint Shopping District is a vibrant collective of retailers fit for a leisurely Saturday morning. Stroll down First Avenue and fill your bags with apparel, home decor, specialty foods, jewelry, furniture, and gifts. From there, make your way over to Pine Street, Cedar Street, or Oak Street for even more locations to satisfy your retail needs.

If you care to extend your shopping trip beyond Sandpoint, visit nearby Ponderay. There, you’ll find thrifting and consignment stores on State Highway 200 near the Elks Golf Course and on Kootenai Cut-off Road between SH-200 and U.S. Route 95.
