I’ve been to Stuart numerous times over the years but I had never visited the downtown area until this recent trip. I found it to be quaint and pleasant due to its small shop and restaurants. Downtown Stuart sits on the St. Lucie River and it has that small town feel to it which is welcoming. There is a beautiful Marlin fountain as you enter the area and it sets the mood for that ocean feeling. As you drive around the area, you will notice gorgeous homes on the water as well as a marina filled with impressive boats. I look forward to coming back to Stuart and exploring the area with more time.
