St. Armands Key

The island's story is deeply intertwined with the vision of one man: John Ringling, the famed circus magnate.

Welcome to St. Armands Key

St. Armands Key, a picturesque island located off the coast of Sarasota, Florida, has a captivating history that's as rich as its present-day allure. The island's story is deeply intertwined with the vision of one man: John Ringling, the famed circus magnate.
 
In the 1920s, Ringling saw the potential of St. Armands Key as a luxurious residential and retail paradise. He purchased the island and embarked on an ambitious plan to develop it. One of his most significant contributions was the construction of the John Ringling Causeway, connecting the island to the mainland and making it more accessible
 
Ringling's dream was to create a European-inspired shopping circle at the center of the island. He even traveled to Italy to purchase statues that still grace the streets of St. Armands Circle today. Although the Great Depression slowed down the development, Ringling's vision eventually came to fruition, and the circle became a hub of luxury shopping, dining, and entertainment.
