You'll definitely need reservations! The island was very crowded with shoppers and eaters,so be prepared for traffic crossing the bridges. Had an awesome time.

A definite "must go to" place for us on our next Florida visit.

They used circus elephants to haul the timber used to construct the causeway & bridge connecting h Key to the mainland. The circle offers a European-style atmosphere with tropical courtyards, upscale boutiques, and sidewalk cafes steps from Lido Beach. This circular district features over 130 shops, galleries, and restaurants. It is a highly walkable with a vibrant, pet-friendly, and, in the evening, lively atmosphere. Renowned for it's relaxed elegance, diverse dining options, including the historic Columbia Restaurant, Crab & Fin, along with rooftop bars. The circle hosts boat parades, car shows, and holiday-themed parades. It's a fabulous area to wander around & people watch. I love the plaques that acknowledge all of the famous circus performers with their biographies.

It's a nice spot to pop in and get a gift for a lady friend or maybe a little something for yourself. The store does skew female, so be aware that there isn't a ton for men. They do have some cool socks for men, but that's all I saw. My girlfriend ended up buying a ring and a dish towel that says "I love you to the fridge and back". This isn't a traditional souvenir store, so don't expect cheap Sarasota items if you're a tourist.

Destination Florida carries tee shirts as well as woman's sun dresses, light sweatshirts, hoodies and hats. Don't forget the coffee mugs and other assorted tourist items. After looking around the store, I come to the counter with my tee shirts. There are two ladies at the register and I start up a friendly conversation. I ask about a military discount on my silly tee shirts and was told yes. I'm talking to, just a striking beautiful woman about Florida and New Jersey where she's from. I thank her for my discount and I'm on my way. Destination Florida should be one of the stores you stop in while shopping in Sarasota.

So, in siesta key village it's the only good store providing visitors and residents on Siesta Key with what they want to enjoy the beautiful 8-mile beach and warm Gulf coast waters. Normally I collect magnets, shots glasses, and some frames and if anything local-then I go for that, like a tiki statue in this case. From beach mats, flops and sandals, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and sunscreen to sunglasses and trendy surf shorts, this well-stocked shop has a great range of clothing and equipment to choose from. and coming to souvenirs - it has all the range. When Shop says they have "Everything for the beach" they mean EVERYTHING! it has 3 sections, and you can find almost anything needed for the beach.

We snagged a few hats, sun shirt for Dad and toys for the kiddos. They have a little something for everyone. Name brands for those that care about that kind of thing.

Layered with the lotion it's heavenly. I will say it was hard to find this year, this is the third location change in St Armand's, I really loved the first one the best. But this current location seems bigger than the last one more merch, and easier to maneuver around. Service wasn't as friendly this time, but hopefully that's a one off.
