St. Armand's Key
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 are many restaurants, tobacco shops, clothing stores as well as other retail outlets in the circle.
The circle branches off into different ways with the shops on the outside of the circle:
- Florida route 789 which goes to Longboat key
- US route 41 which goes to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport
- Lido Beach
