This is a beautiful outdoor shopping center. It is very walk-able. There are a number of cafes, restaurants and ice cream places. Most of the shops however and very high end so be prepared to spend some money.

This is an upscale area for shopping and eating. It is fun to walk the circle and enjoy the people and shops. The Columbian Restaurant has the BEST black bean soup - and 1927 salad. One suggestion, park off the circle in one of the lots and walk through to get to the circle.

I'm there at least once a week even if it's just to stroll the circle, have breakfast, lunch or dinner and shop the unique stores St. Armand's has to offer!

Great place for shopping, eating, walking. Nice art galeries. Ice Cream shops or coffee shops you have it all. There is literally something for everyone.

I've been to St. Armands a few times when I have had a spa appointment scheduled at The Met Day Spa. The outside entrance of the spa is very beautiful with the fountains. Once you're inside, there is a spiral staircase that takes you up to the second floor where the spa is located. There is also an elevator that... More

Good selection of food and shopping. No bad meals, spent waaay too much money at Tommy Bahama.
