You won't need a treasure map to find this jewel of a city.

Coastal Beach Riverfront Ocean Tropical

Adjacent to Jupiter Island and southeast of Port St. Lucie, Stuart is one of the Treasure Coast's favorite cities. Stuart is surrounded by water, flanked by the St. Lucie River and near the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean. Stuart is the "Sailfish Capital of the World," and a fountain of a sailfish welcomes you to the historic downtown, a pedestrian-friendly shopping and dining district. In 2016, Stuart was named the "Happiest Seaside Town" by Coastal Living magazine.

If you are moving to Stuart, you'll enjoy a laid-back lifestyle that involves flip-flops and sunglasses, sandy toes and a daily dose of sunscreen. When you're not beachcombing, surfing, swimming, boating, or fishing, head to Riverwalk (the boardwalk along the St. Lucie River), where community events are often held such as the Rock'n Riverwalk and the Dancin' in the Street festival. Also, be sure to stop by the Stuart Heritage Museum, contained in a feed store built in 1901 and featuring more than 10,000 artifacts dating back to the 1880s.
