The best places to Shop
Shop Local
Just a few miles down the road, you will find the growing shopping district in Englewood, called Dearborn St. This quaint section of town includes local shops and restaurants where you'll find beach wear, local art and jewelry, as well as some of the finest local dining.
If you're interested in a larger, more "Rodeo Drive" shopping experience, 16 miles to the north you will find "The Shops of Venice"! With plenty of FREE parking, you'll find an even larger list of great local shops and restaurants. Clothing, Art, Jewely, Gellato, and my personal favorite, the Daquri Deck.
Just 13 miles south is Boca Grande. This island shopping area has a Key West feel, without the dirty streets, 6-toed cats, and street chickens. If you were to run into any celebrities in Florida, this would be the place to do it! People like Harrison Ford, George HW Bush, and Nick Saban all live in the area, and MANY more celebrities vacation here. They all appreciate the quiet South Florida beach town and avoid the crowded tourist locations!
Whatever your shopping preferences, there is a beautiful streetscape with the perfect local shops just minutes away!
