Off the beaten Path Little Village Little Village is a waterfront shopping and entertainment venue located in historic St Andrews. A place where you can trade in the sun and sand for shade and serenity.

At Little Village you can find items from around the world and from local artists. Much of our inventory comes from fair trade companies that pay above average wages to the craftsmen and give back to improving the living conditions of their communities. That’s why we like to call it “feel good shopping” because chances are that what you are buying is having a positive impact on someone less fortunate.

Check out their website for the event schedule. http://www.littlevillagepc.com/events/ While there make sure to eat at FINNS, they have the best Fish taco’s that you will ever have.
