Why Go
Laid out in the 1920s by circus magnate John Ringling, St. Armands Circle is a European-style shopping-and-dining circle ringed by banyan trees, a short causeway drive from Downtown Sarasota on the way to Lido Key's beaches. This page is about the district experience — the stroll, the atmosphere, pairing it with a Sarasota day; the full shopping detail lives on its own page.
MAX Insider Tip — For the boutique-by-boutique detail, see the Shopping guide — this page is about deciding whether to make St. Armands part of your day.
