Florida’s Treasure Coast
This area is known as the Treasure Coast as it rests on the scenic Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean. The mild weather, ample beaches and easy going pace make it a great place to live. The area has become a recreational paradise of water sports, relaxation and natural beauty.
From the scenic coastline of Hutchinson Island to the historic shops of Jensen Beach and Downtown Stuart, through the lagoons of Sewall’s Point and along the tree lined street of Rio, this is just some of the beauty you will experience here.
In historic downtown Stuart, the shopping is magnificent. The streets are lined with unique shops and local artists. You get a true sense of the history and culture of the area.
Downtown Jensen Beach comes alive every Thursday evening for “Jammin Jensen”. The local arts folks and vendors fill the Boulevard with their crafts and items for sale. The restaurants are lively with music and great food.
You will never find a shortage of things to do on the serene Treasure Coast. Here are just a few things to check out:
