SMALL-TOWN CHARM - DISCOVER OLD FLORIDA IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY
 
(2014 - Winter Issue)

Writer: KEVIN FRITZ



Unwind on the breathtaking beaches of Hutchinson Island; reflect in the historic City of Fort Pierce; play championship golf in Port St. Lucie, all located on the east coast of Florida between Miami and Orlando.

St. Lucie County is where Old Florida is still intact and small-town charm is an everyday way of life. This hidden gem is part of the fabled Treasure Coast, named after the Spanish treasure fleet that sank offshore in the Atlantic Ocean in 1715.

Thirty-four kilometres of uncongested and unspoiled coastline and more than 4,000 hectares of parks and preserves create a natural paradise for the ideal family getaway. Got pets? Furry friends are welcome at Wildcat Cove and Walton Rocks Beach.

Inland, go with the flow in the Indian River Lagoon and hook a record sea trout or some impressive tarpon, redfish and snook. Get back to nature kayaking through mangrove tunnels on the lagoon and past a jungle-like coastline along the St. Lucie River.

Play top-notch golf at PGA Village, a resort boasting three courses, a 14-hectare learning and performance centre and the PGA Museum of Golf. Join the excitement of the spring training baseball season and cheer on the New York Mets in March. Visit the only museum dedicated to the U.S. Navy SEALs, near where the forefathers of today’s SEALs trained to assault the beaches of Normandy.

It’s all here.
