Was skeptical about this place from outside/location. There's a lot more to it than meets the eyes thou. There is a museum like room with lots of interesting information that both children & adults can enjoy and learn from. then there is the amazing outside area with game fish and a ONE mile trail which takes you through the palm covered swamp area out to beach and back along boardwalks and hard sand covered paths. Would definitely recommend and look forward to going back when in the area again.

Bathtub Reef Beach

Reviewed By bakerferge

Whether you are a beach lover, or just need to see the ocean; this is a perfect spot for you to visit. It's a living reef that is constantly being preserved. Great for snorkeling, especially if you're a novice. Watch for the flags indicating rip currents or sharks!

Shepard Park

Reviewed By Jjwakeman - Stuart, United States

Shepard Park is one of Stuart’s waterfront jewels with frontage on Frazier Creek and the South Fork of the St. Lucie River. The park includes a boat launch, picnic pavilion, playground, restrooms and a boardwalk along the St. Lucie. This is one of my favorite spots to watch the sunset over the sailboats moored in the river.

St. Lucie Lock and Dam

Reviewed By H2761EKmikem - Winter Garden, United States

We came to the St. Lucie Lock & Dam w/ another couple who has been here before. I was absolutely fascinated as to how the boats come into a lock. The boat come in @ a lower water level, the lock closes, and then the locks fills up w/ water to raise the water level so that the boat can easily continue on its journey. This is something that children would love to see as well as adults. There is no cost & you are able to walk all around the area. The Core of Engineer Campground is right next to this & we checked it out since we are also RVers. This is a great day trip to pack a lunch. You can sit & watch all kinds of boats go through the lock system. I would recommend this experience to the young & old @ heart. Great learning experience!

Sandsprit Park

Reviewed By snorkelforever6 - Northville, United States

We come to Sandsprit Park every time we are in Florida. It's a great place to watch boats, have a picnic, and watch the birds. Today we finally saw 29 to 30 Monk Parakeets eating on the ground. They were also building nests out of sticks in the palm trees.

A perfect place to watch the sun ride. The water is perfectly blue, the limestone rocks make for gorgeous photos, and it’s easy to get too.
