This area is crisscrossed by the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers and the Okeechobee Waterway, all flowing into the St. Lucie Inlet. From here you can travel through the locks a Phipps Park across the State to the Caloosahatchee River which feeds out into the Gulf of Mexico.
Stuart, known as the "Sailfish Capital of the World," hosts numerous fishing tournaments throughout the year. And don't miss the world's fastest hydroplane races.
Historical downtown Stuart is lined with Victorian style lampposts. Take a stroll down the river walk along the banks of the St. Lucie River.
