Sarasota Shopping

Dozens of shops, boutiques, salons and restaurants surround St. Armands Circle. St. Armands Circle is at the intersection of North and South Boulevard of the Presidents and John Ringling Boulevard. More than 130 stores make up the shopping destination that has been compared to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

John Ringling bought the property that makes up the Circle in 1917 and planned homes and a circular shopping center. Today, St. Armands is some of the most desirable real estate in Sarasota with homes on the island selling for well over a million dollars.
