It's All Happening on The Circle
Given a little free time, my wife and I head St. Armands Key. We always expect lots of fun on The Circle.
We relish the luxury of lingering in pleasant cafes or dining in award-winning restaurants. On evenings when jazz plays in St Armands Circle Park, we bring lawn chairs and position ourselves to listen to music and even dance beneath the palm trees.
St. Armands brings more than music. In addition to more than 130 shops and restaurants, the Circle Association hosts car shows, art festivals and sidewalk sales throughout the year.

A Look Back at St. Armands Key
Presented by Sarasota History Alive!
Sarasota History - St. Armands Key
St. Armands Key has its roots firmly planted in John Ringling's vision of becoming a beautiful residential area, with a centralized shopping and park feature to attract the well-to-do. What's more, he knew that imported European statuary would add greatly to making this a reality.

St Armands Circle on Wikipedia
St. Armands Key is an island in Sarasota Bay off the west coast of Florida in the United States.
A Frenchman named Charles St. Amand bought property on the island in 1893. His name was misspelled in land deeds, and this misspelled name is still used today.
The island is home to a shopping center, and has more than 130 stores.
St. Armands Key features a large roundabout with a small park in the middle. This roundabout is known as St. Armands Circle. The area is famed for its home-made chocolate, fudge and ice-cream shops. There is a great Irish Pub, Lynches Pub & Grub as well as other restaurants.
The beach at St. Armands Key has very fine sand but can become rather dirty if there has been a storm the previous night.
