About six miles down the coast from Port Saint Lucie, the historic fishing village of Port Salerno offers many homes and condos for rent in planned communities, all of which have waterfront access within a few blocks. Port Salerno is well-known for its sport fishing tournaments, launched out of the many marinas lining Manatee Pocket, which runs along the west side of the small Port Salerno peninsula. Launch your own boat or paddleboard from Sandsprit Park to enjoy year-round water recreation, then relax by strolling along the Manatee Pocket Walk, a boardwalk that takes you around the shoreline of the Pocket.

St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park is directly across the Great Pocket from Port Salerno, but you'll need a boat to get there. This is an amazing destination for snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming, fishing, beachcombing, and sunbathing. In addition to two miles of unspoiled beaches and mangrove forests, the park includes a 3,000-foot boardwalk. This is also an important sea turtle nesting location, and the park is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail.

I have just moved to Florida from New Jersey in July. The weather is warmer, but the area specifically is nicer than where I used to live. The cost of living is cheaper, so there are more lower class people in the area.
