A Sarasota must: shopping on St. Armands
Known as the Rodeo Drive of Florida, St. Armands Circle is a hub of elegant shopping and dining. Resort-wear boutiques, fine art galleries and master jewelers sit side-by-side with purveyors of handcrafted candies or imported cigars. You can buy a new outfit, relax at a spa and grab some lunch, all within a single block on the Circle.
Island eateries serve Floribbean cuisine on upstairs verandas that overlook the lush park at the center of St. Armands, while other restaurants opt for sidewalk dining areas perfect for people watching. Whether you crave eclectic American cuisine, a dozen oysters sourced from around the world, or a slice of pizza and a bowl of fresh gelato, St. Armands restaurants will provide. And when the sun goes down, the Circle lights up. Families walk the Circle with ice cream cones in hand before heading home to rest up for another sun-drenched beach day. Live music streams from pubs and clubs for the young at heart, with cocktails and dancing waiting just inside.
