Gorgeous circular promenade with tropical botanical attributes and sculptures. Strolling along here after dinner evokes a strong European Mediterranean vibe. Parking can be a problem. The Columbia Restaurant seems to dominate, but there are plenty of other great places to eat. The street is lined with a variety of interesting shops.

Really cool area, we parked down towards Lido Beach(where its free) and walked to the circle. Really good shopping, of all kinds and a lot of restaurant choices. Coffee and mini donuts were very good! This is an area where you can spend a day for sure!

When we booked a trip to Lido Key, we didn’t know what to expect when the weather ended up being unseasonably cool. Little did we know, we would absolutely love walking around St Armand’s circle once or twice per day! There’s so much to offer for any meal, including delicious gelato shops! If shopping is your thing, you won’t be disappointed.

This is quite the shopping and dining experience. There are plenty of restaurants of all types of food and pricing. There are also plenty of shops, majority high end, not your touristy tshirt/gift shops. You can walk to Lido Beach which is about 10 minutes from last of Main shopping avenue. There is a free shuttle, Bayrunner, which brings you between various stops on Main St in Sarasota to various stops in St Armands circle and Lido beach. There is app that shows you stops.

Many shops with a variety of merchandise. Most stores are quite pricey. We bought candy from one store and most of it tasted bad. Waste of money. Did find a few cute pieces of clothing I could actually afford so I scooped them up. Many restaurants too. Overall great place to visit

Great place to go if you want to kill a few hours to walk, shop and eat. We were recently vacationing in Siesta Key and decided to venture here on a rain day and so glad we did. We paid two hours to park and walk the circle and it's a mix of high and low end stores with a large mix of candy, ice cream, cafes and restaurants. It's worth the trip!

I usually do not enjoy shopping in the United States because of the redundancy of options. St. Armands Circle offers unusual, high quality, one of a kind options that far surpass most shopping areas...and I am a frequent traveler. Also, the selection of great restaurants is superb. Highly recommend the visual delights found in the various art galleries. Noel in the Art on St. Armands gallery is an especially delightful and knowledgeable professional.

Staying at the nearby Lido Beach resort so this was an easy walk or shuttle ride for us. Came here each night of our stay and found it to have a good choice of restaurants and bars. The shops were also nice to browse and seem to have a good selection of clothes and gifts. There is a good vibe here in the evening with musicians playing and lots of people taking a walk around. There are several statues to look at and the area is very clean and has lots of colourful flowers making it attractive. Worth a visit and there seems to be a lot of (paid) parking available if you’re coming from further afield.
