A lot of the beach and water side restaurants in the historic downtown area are nice. Spreading out across the area you find way too many drive through facilities and dive like places that get shut down monthly.

We have a toxic algae problem due to runoff from Lake Okechobee. The Indian River Lagoon is literally dying. We have weeks where there is no swimming allowed due to the toxins. There have been issues with the waste water plant spilling sewage (ie. fecal matter) into the inlet and out to the ocean as well. This creates a no swim warning for the beaches. The erosion problems cause by man made barriers is also destroying the sea turtle population. Its just sad to see what man's folly can do to such a beautiful environment.

Most of the businesses are locally owned, which is nice. This also means some businesses can be a bit run down or over priced though,

Fort Pierce is small, so everyone knows everyone. There have been quite a few scandals of late and mayors and other elected officials are facing criminal charges. It's bound to happen when you just keep reelecting the same person year after year, eventually they make up their own rules.
