Stuart - Fort Pierce
 Many busy couples and families find what they're in search of -- laid-back beachside vacations -- in Indian River and St. Lucie Counties, midway down the peninsula on Florida's east coast. You'll find charming, historic small towns and friendly, genuine folks. Quiet and quaint from Sebastian south to Port St. Lucie, to Stuart, this area offers unspoiled beaches, excellent fishing and plenty of small-town charm. Vero Beach also hosts Dodger baseball in the winter and offers year-round watersports. In Sebastian, some of Florida's biggest waves draw surfers to the area.
Vero Beach The unspoiled natural beauty of Vero Beach may be the first thing you notice on your visit here. This quaint seaside city is surrounded by miles of lush, unspoiled public beaches. But this is only the beginning of what you will find here. Stroll down Ocean or Cardinal Drives and visit the variety of stores in the lushly landscaped Village Shops. The Riverside Park area offers the Center for the Arts. Here the exhibitions are continuously changing. Their gallery is dedicated to the works of Florida artists. Lectures, concerts and films top off the cultural calendar.
Port St. Lucie Located in the heart of Florida's Treasure Coast, Port St. Lucie truly offers something for everyone. Here visitors can find some of Florida's finest beaches, rich history (including an oceanic archeological preserve set amidst Spanish galleons shipwrecked in 1715), beautiful nature preserves, famous golf courses and an exciting array of events and festivals.
Jensen Beach In 1895, so many pineapples were grown in Jensen Beach that it was called the "Pineapple Capital of the World." Today, the legacy of this tropical fruit lives on; the pineapple has become a symbol of this charming village. Appropriately, the pineapple is also a symbol of hospitality, and Jensen Beach has lived up to this hallmark. The friendly residents and relaxing environment quickly make any visitor feel right at home. It is easy to see why the area, which includes neighbor Hutchinson Island with its miles of unspoiled beaches, has been a popular vacation destination for almost a century.
