St. Armands Circle is Sarasota’s most well-known address for upscale shopping. Farther to the east, the community of Lakewood Ranch is known for its delightful shops and restaurants on and around Main Street.
For genuine local souvenirs, head to the region’s artist villages—Matlacha on Pine Island off Fort Myers, Towles Court in Sarasota, and Village of the Arts in Bradenton. Watch for
news of art walk events in downtown Fort Myers, Punta Gorda and Sarasota.
Bargain-seekers head to the factory outlet malls: Miromar Outlets in Estero, Sanibel Outlets in Fort Myers and Ellenton Premium Outlets near Bradenton. Or check out the flea markets: Flamingo Island Flea Market in Bonita Springs, Fleamasters Fleamarket in Fort Myers and Red Barn Flea Market in Bradenton.
