The
Art of Shopping
- Explore the uniqueness of St.
Armands Circle with its collection of upscale shops
and specialty stores. Downtown Sarasota offers small
town Americana on
Main Street, while the art galleries
on
Palm Avenue remind you of New York and L.A.
Turn the corner onto Pineapple Avenue
and you'll
find fine antiques to true 1950's Florida kitsch. A little
further south into Venice and you'll be standing
among shops that look out onto one of the best planned
downtowns in America. If you like your shopping action
packed, enjoy the variety of several indoor malls or
the bargain bonanzas at the nearby outlet mall.
