Get to know Stuart

If Stuart had “Beach” in its name, it might be one of the world’s most famous seaside towns. Instead, it has become one of the world’s most livable. A lush, green environment blossoms in a city dotted with low-rise buildings. The downtown is a well-preserved example of small-town Americana, with historic buildings of various styles — such as the Art Deco Old Martin County Courthouse and Colonial Revival Dudley-Bessey House. There are also many locally-owned restaurants and shops in a central area near several wonderful neighborhoods. Water is at the center of Stuart as the St. Lucie River wraps around the city’s edges. Such an unending waterfront fostered the downtown’s riverwalk, a two-mile stretch of boardwalk perfect for a leisurely stroll and scenic photographs.

Stuart Commerce & Culture

Due to the immense amounts of sailfish found in the nearby Atlantic, Stuart has appropriately billed itself as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.” And thankfully, numerous marinas make access to that ocean’s bounty — as well as beaches and the Intracoastal Waterway — a cinch. In line with the city’s fishing scene and proximity to water, Stuart’s restaurants feature exceptional quantities of fresh seafood and beautiful views. Shops are curated affairs that cater to the people who make Stuart home. However, you can undoubtedly find a souvenir t-shirt or beach towel should you desire one. Stuart has maintained its small-town feel even as other communities along the Treasure Coast have exploded, which suits it well. It’s the kind of place where people are more than content to enjoy their evenings gathered around the pool under starlit Florida skies.
