Riverwalk

Reviewed By anna b - Melbourne, Florida

I spent the day strolling around Stuart while my husband attended a meeting. Loved the town and the riverwalk is beautiful. Just one block off downtown with plenty of free parking near by PLUS a free shuttle. Restaurants near by as well. It was a great place to spend the afternoon and one I'll return to.

Walton Rocks Beach

This is the ONLY dog friendly beach in St. Lucie County on the Atlantic Ocean, incredible views and the dogs and owners love it. If you travel with your pet a must spot when in the Treasure Coast of Florida

Reviewed By kellyanny - Port St Lucie, United States

Great dog beach, if you do not want your stuff invaded by a pup, go to another beach all along the Eastern seaboard. This is a great place to take your pooch, the parking lot is set back off the road so little chance of Fido running into the street. I took my dog there when she was a pup in order to socialize her...great fun!

The Oceanographic Center is an easy stop on your trip - it is right off A1A (next to a Publix and across from the Elliot museum). It isn't expensive and it's not huge so you can see everything in an hour. There are nice exhibits for kids with docents who are knowledgeable and nice. The gift shop sold essential books on local history, flora and fauna in addition to the usual ocean chotchka. On the day I visited there were a couple hundred visitors and I took the mile long trail that goes through the mangrove swamp to the Intercoastal. No one else was on the trail, despite the day being clear, cool and pretty much perfect - go figure!

There is so much development on Hutchinson Island, the Center is a good reminder of the importance of preserving wetlands. I was taken aback that despite all of the informative displays, there was zero mention of climate change and the certain impact it will have on the area's ecology. I chalk this up to the State of Florida's disinclination to face up to facts and pressure the current governor exerts not to acknowledge climate change, but it is - sadly - a lost opportunity to inform the public about an issue that will have significant impact on the Treasure Coast. :-(

Elliott Museum

Reviewed By Margie B - Southold, New York

We really enjoyed this museum which is small, but packed with interesting items. There are wonderful antique cars, motorcycles and boats. There is a baseball section, a model boat section, several scenes from times past(pharmacy, barbershop, kitchen, etc.). The museum tells about several interesting people. There is something for everyone.

Reviewed By JRG F - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Pirate ship is pretty awesome, but the room itself needs more activities. Various play rooms are cute and interactive. Associates friendly and restrooms clean. I wish when I called and asked about the area, they informed me about the nice pier and splash pad minutes from the front door of this museum.

Savannas Preserve State Park

Reviewed By Zonicle

It certainly feels like you are the only one there! So much beautiful space to enjoy, the sky, the water, the trails, the wildlife, trees & shrubs. A very natural state park. Unhurried, no crowds, quiet....you just hear the wind blowing and the birds calling to each other. A wonderful nature center invites you in with many exhibits, pretty canoe launch area, two covered picnic areas at canoe launch. Very scenic park.

The House of Refuge Museum

Reviewed By Ace J - Chicago, Illinois

This sturdy wood homelike structure was built in 1875 as one of the string of Refuge Houses. These buildings were spaced along Florida’s ocean coast to accommodate the frequent shipwrecked crews who made it to shore. By 1915 the Coast Guard operated the house. In 1942 the wooden lookout tower was built to watch for Nazi U-boats. For $7 you can tour this landmark; the only Refuge House remaining. Our guide John was very knowledgable. The basement has exhibits about the history, and then you tour the cooking and living quarters for the superintendent and family. Period furniture and artifacts, such as original Edison cylinder records are there. The shipwrecked sailors were boarded upstairs. There is also a nice gift-shop. This was a fascinating and enlightening tour through Florida history.
