St. Armands Circle

The beautiful St. Armands Circle is perfect for getting out on a nice day. Take a slow stroll and enjoy the myriad of unique experiences, with a hint of the nearby Gulf in the air.

Be sure to enjoy a unique shopping and dining experience at St. Armands Circle. The Circle is a cluster of storefronts, boutiques, and cafes that offer you a chance to stroll, mingle, and dine outside with the sea breeze. There is always something fun to do in this busy and lively island, that was originally designed by John Ringling. St. Armands plays host to many events throughout the year, so you can stroll and shop during events such as: Jazz Fest, St. Armands Art Festival, Classic Mercedes Car Show, Ferrari's on St. Armands, Sip & Shop, Fourth Fridays, and Summer Sidewalk Sales. St. Armands is a neat mix, from casual beach bars and outdoor dining, to exclusive shops with fine beachwear.

Just Around the Corner

Downtown Sarasota

What a spectacular setting is Downtown Sarasota, a great blend of shops, eateries, and parks all oriented around the grand waterfront at Bayfront Park. It offers something for all visitors, including the fabulous beaches, top-notch shopping, international cuisine, renowned museums, and Florida's signature water sports and outdoor activities. Sarasota is a town square perfect to walk around and checkout, kind of a modern urban mini-town, and for sure a top destination fun-to-see-and-do.

Beach Paradise

Longboat, Siesta, & Lido Beach

Visitors enjoy world class white-sandy beaches and breathtaking sunsets from the many beautiful islands that sprinkle down the coastline. A day of exploring these top rated beaches is a great family outing. Enjoy swimming and snorkeling in the warm Gulf waters, which typically have a gentle surf. You will see great nature, lots of beachside activities, and find unique shells along the shore.

Enjoy the Water

Sarasota Bay, New Pass, Gulf Waters

With some of the most beautiful waters in Florida, we have the best fun when enjoying the Gulf's water activities and aquatic wildlife. At Sarasota Bayfront Park very affordable rentals and charters are available. For example, how about taking a tropical sunset cruise for less than $20 per adult. Choose between sightseeing cruises, deep sea fishing, sailing with the breeze, or popping around on a waverunner. You can rent boats and explore the waters around Lido and Longboat Keys using powerboats, bow riders, and pontoon boats. For the fishing fans, you can rent the gear to reel in some red fish, grouper, or mahi mahi which make the waters off Sarasota their home. These aquatic adventures can make some lasting memories.

Beach Shopping

There really is not any other place like this in Florida, great beach shopping just a one minute walk to a top-10 Florida Beach. All the visitors that come down to my house for weekend getaways just go crazy over this attraction. North Lido Beach is also a big hit with tourists and us locals alike. And everyone loves the shopping, hats, shoes, dresses, it is all here.
