The park allows pets and has separate trails for mountain bikers. It's important to bring plenty of water and bug spray when visiting the park.
Absolutely my go-to local hiking trails. I hike/walk/run the trails 3-6 times every week. 90% of the time I see one of my many tortoise buddies. Great canoeyaking starting point too. Great trails for your dog companions. Incredible biking trails too.

This park has it all! Picnic area, restrooms, baseball field, batting cages, roller hockey, mountain biking trails in the woods, hiking trails, pickle ball and ten ice courts and bike paths. The canoe launch was closed to vehicles with a gate so I didn’t get to see the condition of that.

Visited the canoe launch. Super clear tannic water. Didn't launch, but it looks gorgeous. Careful on the road in...Tons of large bumps and dips, even for a 4x4. Restroom facility is clean.

I liked it. The park is large enough to allow for a 3 to 4 or even a 5 mile hike. Good paths, good scenery at times. A few people but not overly crowded, on a nice weekday morning. Saw some tortises. Took the "main" path out and generally took the River path back. Signage is ok but could be improved. A few intersections I had no idea where I was. No printed trail maps available. Google maps was a help...

This place is a lot larger than it seems and it's more than just soccer fields and baseball fields. It has an excellent 18-hole disc golf course. It has nice paved walking trails. It has several extensive mountain biking trails and extensive hiking trails although the hiking trails are very poorly marked. I live in the eastern part of the county but I'm always happy to drive out west and enjoy this park.

We explored the South Fork Nature Trail. I could see how at times this may flood, luckily we didn’t experience that! Not too buggy, not too hot. We did about 3 miles round trip. Aside from convincing myself we were lost for about 30 minutes it was a great hike. Beautiful scenery, no critter sightings on this visit. Love that it’s pet friendly and there’s separate trails for the mountain bikers. Definitely recommend checking it out! Make sure you have plenty of water and bug spray.

Hiking, biking, and every sport facility you could want. The park is big, beautiful, and clean. Additionally, the park is right off of 95.
Sandsprit Park is a well-maintained favorite spot with park benches, restrooms and a variety of amenities. Visitors can enjoy watching the boats coming in and out, as well as the wild Quacker-Parrots that are often spotted here. The large park also features a boat ramp, playground for children, tables with grills, bathrooms and a boardwalk with benches offering excellent views.

The road to get to boat ramp/park is very narrow and has multiple curves. Tree area that's very pretty but extremely tight towing a boat that's taller. Good amount of parking and has 4 boat ramps. Bathrooms on site. No trash cans near bathrooms in bathroom or near docks where boats are. Garbage cans are lacking.

This place is a whole lot different than it was in the 80s. I remember that you used to be able to camp here, and the piers and boat ramps weren’t built yet. I believe this will be a pretty good place to fish, but you can’t use the piers or the boat ramps at the east end. Instead, you have to use the west end by the marina. You can fish from the walls though. I saw a nice snook, but I couldn’t get a picture because it saw me first. Also, I saw finger mullet and blue crabs. The coolest part about the visit to this park is the drive through the canopy trees over the road

I enjoyed this park it's on the water with great views. A real nice place to watch the boat traffic go by . The park has 2 ramps for launching boats , one is newer the other is less used a bit in need of a make over but still usable. They have an auxiliary coast guard office where you can take a safety boating class. The only drawback is parking it's limited so if you go in the afternoon the locals will get all the spots. I saw a lot of people walking their dogs there are restrooms that were open .

Really cool spot documenting local history. The stories on showcase and the history feels really intimate.

We recently moved to PSL and wanted to explore our new home. We came to the Stuart Heritage Museum and it felt like we entered in a Time Machine. So many original artifacts and articles in prestige condition really made me get a feel for life in Stuart throughout the years. We were greeted by 2 lovely ladies (I apologize for forgetting your names), who gave us a breakdown of the museum’s rich history and also gave us a lot of recommendations for our next adventures with our family.

Riverwalk Cafe and Oyster Bar is a relaxed dining spot with a strong emphasis on seafood. The menu features an extensive selection of oysters alongside other fish-based dishes, all served in a cozy ambiance that exudes charm and romance. The exposed brick interior sets the tone for an intimate dining experience, while the wine list enhances the overall feel of the place. While some dishes like calamari are well-prepared, others such as fish n chips require improvement.
Charming cozy romantic restaurant. Pork chops and sea bass were prepared perfectly. Large oysters menu. Great wine list.

Absolutely amazing food. It's such a hidden location my husband didn't even know it existed. The food was fantastic, server was so friendly, knowledgeable, and quick. I will be coming back here! Best burger, by far, I have ever had. Fiocchi appetizer was so good! Ricotta and pear filling with brown butter sauce! I could have eaten that as an entree if it came with a vegetable side. We came back and got the burger again and the coconut crusted grouper over curry sauce. Delicious!

For such a pricey menu I was shocked at the lack of care patrons receive here. The one restroom was in the back corner, such that I had to squeeze through a couple tables (felt bad for the folks sitting at those tables) and pull back a filthy curtain where I entered a weird little room where a worker was getting stuff out of a big cooler, only to enter a very neglected restroom. When you are paying $35-75 per entree, you kind of expect the servers to be attentive and nice and the restroom to be clean. Sorry... I don't typically give such grumpy reviews, but this place brought it out in me. I'd have taken more stars off except that the food really was cooked perfectly. Compliments to the chef.

My lunch at Riverwalk was amazing!!! Three different Oysters ( blue points were one) on the half shell with house made mignonette, Riverwalk hot sauce( so good, even by itself on a cracker), cocktail sauce w/ fresh horseradish as our appetizer. I enjoyed the blackened pumpkin swordfish summer strawberry salad. It tasted savory and sweet and was beautifully presented. My husband, had the steak wedge salad that was… to the next level of amazing!!!! House made blue cheese dressing and the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. Riverwalk has an amazing wine list and beers on tap. I always feel so good after eating here. Everything is so fresh and delicious. This is truly, my favorite restaurant in Stuart. It is a hidden gem.

tl;dr - Excellent food, you should go.
We had dinner with a group. We started with raw oysters, calamari and a salad. The oysters were excellent and if you like oysters they should not be missed. They have an oyster menu.
For our mains had catch of the day, Grouper and Sordfish, Fried Grouper Sandwich and Ahi. All the food was amazing, our favorite was the Swordfish, it was done perfectly. If it is an option I would try it.
Everything was very good, cooked to perfection and excellent flavors
The only area of improvement was our server let our bottle of white wine get warm.
We finished things off with Flourless Cholate Cake and Key Lime Pie. The pie was ok, but the cake was amazing

My boyfriend took me here a year ago early in our relationship and we returned recently for our anniversary.
The food and service is excellent at the tables if you're looking for something more formal. I love the duck.
When I visit the bar for oysters, there is a friendly and knowledgeable bartender there to help me pick which ones to eat that day. I wish I knew her name because she deserves a shout-out! These are the tastiest oysters I can find in the area, they are flavorful.
As for dessert, try the cheesecake! To die for !

Great atmosphere and nice menu but I ordered Oysters Rockefeller for my appetizer and the third one I ate was rotten. Tasted like sewage. Our waiter was arrogant so I didn't bother complaining. Didn't try my entree as my stomach was sour. Such a shame because I was looking forward to an amazing meal.

Wonderful experience! We had 3 different varieties of oysters, best ever! We had the grouper and the prime rib steak. Both were delicious. Then came the table service strawberry tiramisu. Lovely, special and delicious. The only thing off putting was the hostess with RBF. We felt unwelcomed by her.

I'm changing my review from five Stars to three due to of consistency of the food . The oysters are always good. I've been here about five or six times and depending on the night of the week it's either really good or really bad. My last meal was horrible I don't think I'll be going back.

First time @ Riverwalk last night for my Birthday. They were out of the NY strip. The dirty oysters were fantastic as well as the Rib eye that a friend ordered. Drinks took quite a long time to get despite it being 9 o'clock and not a packed restaurant. The waitress was difficult to track down, again despite it not being busy at all. The grits were barely warm and the ceiling fan directly above doing 55 in a 25 on a cold weather night made them cool quickly. Asked for them to be heated but they are not cooked to a smooth creamy texture, very grainy so I didn't finish them. Asked for a dessert menu and after about 10 minutes of reading we decided on the pistachio cake but when we ordered the waitresses said they don't carry that anymore, it was for the holidays. Maybe letting diners know when you drop off the menu would be helpful or maybe since it's the middle of January it's not on the menu. Mixed bag on this restaurant. Probably not a place we'll return.

The Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center is a 57-acre research and educational site featuring a network of nature trails, a lagoon, and saltwater tanks. Visitors can explore the building's interactive games, learn about Florida's water and animals in the museum, and take advantage of restrooms on-site. The attraction offers a chance to feed stingrays and invertebrates while observing large saltwater turtles and fish up close. Admission prices are $8 for children and $16 for adults.
April 2022 - what a great place. The kids loved this place and we had a hard time getting them to go. In the building they have some games you can play. Restrooms, a little museum about the animals, Florida water, ect. Very cool place to visit and we have no wait. Their is a trail but we didn't go that far. It was really hot outside for us with 3 daughters under 10. I highly recommend this place.

Such a great Place! Years ago they were tiny but just as great, now they have built and expanded so many beautiful and truly enriching experiences on the property. There is a beautiful gift shop when you walk in ( be prepared to want to shop, truly I wish I had for that in my budget it’s like a mermaid emporium) and then they have a stingray touch pool just outside that we’re you can sit and learn about them and also touch them- including toddlers which was very cool. My little 2 year old darling was so excited by them and would have jumped in if I let her ha! Next to that is an interactive young childrens area- both are outside. Then the newest attraction is a big “air conditioned” building with another interactive room with puzzles for older kids and then a nice small little museum type walk through that introduces you to our local marine ecosystems which was done really well. Again my toddler could not get enough and we spent a good hour walking through it several times over! Everyone is very nice and informative as well. Outside that is a huge estuary I guess you could say. A man made giant “ lagoon “ as it’s called there or big pond that has a huge walk around deck ( which also leads to some pretty cool wildlife trails) and in it you’ll find all sorts of big ocean life including turtles, stingrays, and even nurse sharks which was pretty cool to us!!!
I explained all this so that hopefully someone reading this can see how worthwhile it is to go here! You and your kids will love it!

This is a very educational spot to spend some outdoor time. Really big lagoon with rays, fish, and turtles all swimming about. There's plenty of educational placards and displays as well as different talks given. Take a walk on the nature trail through the mangroves (best enjoyed after liberal application of DEET) and see their oyster reclamation project. A big plus is that active duty military and veterans get in free.

My wife would likely disagree with the five stars due to the smell in the Nature Trail, but I thought it was a fun experience.
Great access to animals of all kinds. Really interesting exhibits in the park.
In my opinion, the VERY SMELLY Nature Trail is a 3/4-mile walk through an actual marsh. The methane gases due to decomposing detritus (and who knows what else) are REALLY strong, but it was lots of fun.

I hadn’t been here since the new building was constructed 10 years ago.

The Elliot museum's car collection is primarily model A and T older cars, but there are several more modern cars to enjoy.
The real amazing part of this collection is that nearly 50 cars are racked in an automated storage system. Each car requested for viewing is brought out of the three story racks and placed on a revolver turntable for viewing. A technological marvel worth the visit.
The staff were pleasant and willing to show me many requests for specific cars.
I enjoyed it immensely and recommend a visit if you are in the Stuart Florida area or passing nearby on travel.

The paintings are gorgeous and found out about THE HIGHWAYMEN and their art 🖼️ wonderful wonderful… I would love to come back with my son, perfect place if you want to see some very cool things.
The House of Refuge Museum is dedicated to honoring American inventors and entrepreneurs with a variety of exhibits showcasing replica stores and patents. The museum offers visitors an opportunity to learn about the nation's history while also enjoying the nearby beach, which features a unique reef not commonly found in southern Florida. Despite the lack of public restrooms, this interesting destination provides an enjoyable way to spend a weekend day exploring maritime history.
Interesting place, learned a lot about the history and enjoyed exploring. Nice beach as well! No public restrooms, so go before you go.

The sunrises on this beach are phenomenal and breathtaking. The rocks and outcroppings are unique to this beach all along the coast of Florida. Small. Quiet. Scenic. Always see photographers capturing wedding couples, children, and families here every morning we come. Worth a visit if you can. No decent swimming but picturesque. Wear stiff shoes. Rocks will cut your feet up.

Beautiful place to visit. Look at the rocks during low tide. We were able to see sea turtles swimming in the waves.

I like this beach area since it is not common that you can find such reef beaches in southern Florida. The entrance to the beach is just next to the museum, it is a pity that I arrive later than 4pm. The opening hours is in the photo. I will check to visit next month. However the beach is so beautiful and quiet , I just meet 3-4 people fishing. It is Sunday afternoon. Hope you enjoy time here. I will also explore and update some other places around here which is good to spend a weekend day.

It's such a great place to go, the history of the life-saving service and lighthouse keepers and the history of each rescue and personnel of each person that was housed there. As a Coast Guard veteran, it was exciting to see that the way the logs were written are still the same way today. Great experience

I love historical places like this. You can learn and appreciate your surroundings more when you visit areas. Our local guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. It's amazing to learn about the history buried beneath our own feet. I absolutely recommend to anyone from this area or visiting from out of town. What a gem of history that I'm sure most people would drive right by every day.

My mom, sister, and sister's friend came here yesterday and had so much fun. We are not used to being photographed but the photographer, Vince, made us feel so comfortable and fun! He was super nice and professional! We arrived an hour late due to a delayed flight but the staff was really friendly and did their best to accommodate us.

First it was a house of refuge for shipwrecked sailors. Then, it merged with the Coast Guard. Then, the tower was constructed to look for German U-boats during World War II. Then, a turtle refuge, but before all that the area was used by a pirate to lure and trap unsuspecting merchant ships, which is how it got it’s name. He had a saying that stuck in my mind “Dead cats don’t meow. You know what to do.“
Steve, in admissions, was the first person I met. He is a super cool, laid-back dude who is very informative and suggested that I get the combo ticket. Cindy was my tour guide. She, as well, was very laid-back and knowledgeable. One of the things that she mentioned is, the reason for the buildings longevity is the rock on which it’s built. I know that my description is a little vague. The reason for this is that I recommend you check it out for yourself 🙂😉

Oldest building in the county of Martin. Definitely a cool spot to put on your visit list. Jimmy and Michael are great staff and the views of the water are breathtaking. Round it off with a stop at the mansion of tuckahoe and a visit to Eliot museum. Then hit the dolphin bar for a full day of the fun history of the area. Life is good!
Went back again today with more friends. Gets better and better. I'm so glad to have the member family deal at the Elliott museum and house of refuge.

Secret Gem on Hutchinson Island amazing place for set. No beach but more for scenic. Wedding or family photo place. Ocean and intercoastal.
Stuart Beach is a serene and expansive public beach that boasts of wide stretches of pristine sand. It has lifeguards, showers, and changing rooms for visitors’ convenience. The water is crystal blue but can be choppy at times. The beach also has marked areas where turtles lay eggs which add to its unique charm. Shaded picnic tables are available for those who want to enjoy the sun while still having some cover from it.
Nice beach, clean, the water was super choppy so we weren’t able to spend as much time as we would have liked. My 1 year old enjoyed playing in the sand with his new toy shovel. We will definitely try to visit again. There were several places marked off due to turtle eggs, which was really neat to see.

Popular local beach with public restrooms and outdoor showers. Next door to museum with a couple small food joints. A good starter beach for anyone in town on vacation. Parking is being expanded. If you get there in the mid to late afternoon there is a lot of parking spots opening up as people head home. Otherwise, you might want to get there early for a parking spot.

The water was nice and warm and pretty clear the day I went. But sadly I threw up there for some reason so the experience was 4 stars. The beach has been way clearer on other times I was there. I would recommend going early in the mourning because it’s more clear in the mourning

If you are near the area and you like clean and sparse beaches, this is the spot. Easy accessible parking and free. Close to the beach and to a bar that also rents out chairs and umbrellas for a reasonable price. The staff there were great and helpful setting up our spot in the sand. Bathrooms and showers were well kept and working perfectly.

The best. Quiet. Around nice mansion property. Turtle nest (be kind), dog friendly. Perfect for my walking time…. The only thing to say bad, would be that more people moving to the treasure coast start to littering with plastics, and food containers the beach and that’s not ok. We don’t want to have a non cared beach like it is in Miami with tourism. So please take all your belongings trash with you 🙏

A beautiful beach, plenty of free parking, they have a public restroom as well as water fountain to clean off sand once you want to leave the beach. There is a little cafe for lunch right next to the beach for some nice coffee and food. Waves can get pretty intense but I did go during a time where the weather was a little rough. Plenty of sand to sit and watch the ocean and enjoy friends and family.

I would say that this is the local beach to come to if you like more activity, crowds, people watching and a lifeguarded beach. Fairly big parking lot. Oh and there's also a beachside "shack" and bar serving drinks, breakfast and lunch until 4pm.
CoLab Kitchen is a trendy eatery that features an urban farm and serves delicious locavore cuisine. In addition to its cafe, there's also a market where you can purchase fermented foods, bread, and other locally grown products. Customers rave about the great atmosphere and unique pizza options. The restaurant also offers excellent service that's sure to make your visit enjoyable. Be sure to try their grilled cheese with a side of tomato soup - it's highly recommended!
LOVE THIS PLACE!! don't know how this one escaped our searches for so long. This is a true farm to table spot including growing their own produce (which they sell in a fantastic market in the front).
You can see the place sparkles with cleanliness, and the decor is fresh and crisp. They have a huge and lovely backyard with tables, sitting areas, a small food truck, and play areas for kids and live music.
The food choices were delicious, with just the right amount of selections, including vegetarian and vegan food.
Five excellent beers to choose from and cocktails thoughtfully made with their own mixers.
And fantastic filtered water.. which in Florida is really a necessity.
We absolutely loved this place... hoping they will open for dinner a couple of nights a week too ;)

The tiny market that greets you upon entry is adorable. The atmosphere is very cozy. As a nostalgic adult at a nice restaurant, I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup. It was exceptionally made with cheese fried cooked the outside as well as FILLING the sandwich. The tomato soup was a perfect pairing to the high quality cheese.
I went to an event hosted here and even the "finger foods" were delicious as they were half sandwiches of the amazing brisket sandwiches and such offered on their menu. The outdoor and patio is beautiful and the bus-bar is so appealing.all around great experience.

Decided to give this place a try for Sunday brunch and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is amazing, there’s a large indoor and outdoor open seating area. The service was great even when they get slammed for brunch. Food came out excellent and they have a large selection of healthy options. With a cute fresh produce shop in the front, the vibes were fabulous. Will definitely be going back!

I can only say "What a cozy jewel restaurant " in the heart of Stuart, FL.
Great place to dine, either outdoors or inside. Pictures said it all, they have teo sections outside and even a separate area for small gatherings. Great for families or simply couples. AMAZING cuisine, Fresh, delightful, savory and affordable. Their brisket is even cook separately outside under close supervision, drinks are also offered in two separate scenarios, Bar inside or small truck outside....they even have a tasty little market for delicatessens! Most importantly, their customer service is outstanding. Looks like they are only open until 2pm on week days and 'till 3pm on weekends, but might change in the future. Live music was performed by two girls that make the day to many while dining outside.
CONGRATS to ownership, you sure have a jewel and will certainly reccomend it fully.
Keep up the good work and thanks for your Hospitality!

We want to like it since we love the atmosphere. The meats that are available have a very smoked flavor which my family doesn’t prefer the taste of. If you don’t like smokey taste, you won’t like any of it including the chicken salad.
The pimento cheese pizza is incredibly salty. The fried green tomatoes are expensive and just taste mostly of breading. The grilled cheese is very good, a little greasy but the tiny size of the cup of soup is comical compared to the giant side salad and grilled cheese that it’s served with.
Finally, we’ve tried a few of the sweets and they’re always underwhelming. The cinnamon buns look incredible but are dry and the Boston cream pie is not good. It’s not very sweet which is alright but the layers separate and the cake is very dense so it just crumbles apart.
We’ve given it a few tries for both lunch and dinner since the atmosphere and outdoor seating is really nice but unfortunately we just won’t be back.

Dare I say that this my all time favorite restaurant?!
You can hear the live music welcoming you in from the second you get out of the car. Walking through the doors you are transformed to a "summer in the Hamptons" atmosphere which just brings a certain joy that is hard to explain. Every one of the servers had a smile on their face and walked with a purpose. We felt cared for when we were able to be seated right away at an outsite table during their peak time on a Friday!
I highly recommend the mushroom tacos to start! Our food came out quickly and was seriously delicious! All of their proteins are paired with cornbread, pickle slices, 3 delicious sauces, and your choice of 2 sides. I love that the side options are original and options that I was excited to choose from!
Our 2 year old had THE time of his life playing with the other kids building towers with the big yard toys that were on the lawn! Such a family friendly environment! The perfect place to come to eat with your friends with kiddos where you know the kids will be safe and entertained.
The bathrooms were large and clean as well 🚻
Can't wait to come back to my new favorite spot!

Won't go back. Greasy, salty grilled cheese with burnt cheese on the outside. Tomato soup was more like sauce for pasta. $16.00 lunch left me feeling sick. 1.5 deviled egg for $9.00 is excessive and the okra was way over pickled with it, felt more like a vinegar shot. Bought a baked item in the store part, the price on the item was 4.50 but rang up at 6.00 the rude woman said well that's obviously the wrong tag. There was also tax on the baked item which shouldn't be charged in a bakery, the bread wasn't taxed but the muffin was made no sense. She said well that's just what it is. Was so looking forward to going here too bad.

Colab was a wonderful dining experience. Went for lunch with my visiting son. My first visit his second visit. We had a great table outdoors and although a school holiday with lots of younguns' running about it was great. Had the grilled cheese with tomato soup and am still in "awe" of the greatness of the sandwich. Like no grilled cheese I have had/made. Loved dipping it in the tomato soup. The side of fresh fruit was wonderful. Can't wait to go back.
Sailfish Splash Waterpark is a facility designed for both competitive swimmers and recreational users, featuring towering slides and a lazy river. It is considered an excellent venue for birthday parties, with numerous amenities available to enjoy. Despite some disappointment from one parent over the low turnout of attendees in this particular case, the park remains a popular destination overall. Its attractions are especially loved by children who relish the exciting experiences that await them at every turn.
Always an amazing place to have a birthday party. Haven turned 10, a huge milestone. We had 1 out 11 invites plus more for family. 1 kid in her class showed up, not one parent contacted us with a yes or no.Heartbreaking, and first time this happened. When I was a kid, an invite like this was reminded daily till the party. All of that aside she still had a blast , and the 1 friend who showed up from her class gave her the sweetest gift. Haven didn't even notice, she had a wonderful time with a couple of friends , the whole day. We had some back up pals that came as well.
She the sweetest , little angel. Happy Birthday Haven.

The park itself was cool. My biggest problems were for one, the fountain drinks. Every fountain drink tasted like water. I made the staff aware of the issue and they really didn’t care too much about it. I’m gonna assume they either didn’t want to change it or their inventory was low. They didn’t have any souvenir cups nor did they have any other options for refills. The fries were not fresh, they were not hot, and they taste like they were fried in the same oil they fry everything else. The chicken tenders were dry and stringy and the only thing that was decent was the pizza. There were rocks on the ground, and in the water, in which I stepped on and seriously hurt my foot. The staff had no enthusiasm or motivation and for those prices I expected waaaaay better. As a water park in Florida, this park needs to do better.

My family had a blast here! We visited twice in two days because the staff was very friendly, prices reasonable with both tickets and food, and the lazy river was our favorite! They however charge a little much for the lockers and there were hardly any tubes to use in the lazy river and the ones they had were severly deflated. Plenty of lifeguards on duty and with the protection plan we were able to come back into the park after the storm passed, 20 min wait, was awesome!!

Fun time for little kids teal slide needs more water and pressure to actually get down instead of having to push yourself down. Pizza was okay, the drinks the ice melts fast because there's no lids and straws. This place needs more things to do. Overall, the lazy river is cool,and I spent the day relaxing down it, and my son had fun in the kids' pool with all activities. Lifeguards are on point and ready to help.

The park itself is nice. Good for smaller children. Gets pretty crowded so go early. The only real negative is the food service. The food was decent but the service was terrible. Polite enough, just really, and I mean really slow. Be prepared to wait or order long before your kids get hungry. Otherwise, we had a blast.

I think it’s a great place to bring your kid and enjoy some time in a pool setting and with some entertainment. It’s not as big as I’d hope if you have older kids. I think their target audience is younger kids which is fine. The concession stand needs to be trained better the teenagers are clueless. They also had no straws or lids which was annoying. But other then that I’d be back so my son can enjoy.

Pay the extra $9 so you can get your entry fee reimbursed when they kick you out after it starts to rain. We only rode each slide and the lazy river once before they closed the park. Be sure to ride the open slide lying on your back with your arms crossed in front on your chest or you'll end up scooching slowly on your butt the whole way down. The blue covered slide is a fast, fun ride and the only reason this park got two stars. Go early, park for free, and be prepared to be denied a whole day of fun.
Janet Lake — Google review
My kids have a good time here, but it is quite expensive for what you get. This is just a kids park, with two slides, a splash pad and a lazy river. Nothing for adults, despite charging almost $20 to enter. Also, they do not allow outside food or beverages, and you have to wait 20 minutes for an $8 bag of chips and cheese. For a county operated park it sure feels like you are getting ripped off.
Matt Link — Google review
Great time.
Lots of space, plenty of chairs and umbrella if you get there early. The hotter it gets out, the faster they go!
They do believe in safety, so if it starts to thunder and lightning, they shut down the park.
My only thing is they wouldn't let us use the bathroom before we left. They rushed everyone out.
Plenty of slides, jungle gyms, and buckets of water
Lazy river is nice.
Go during the week and it's even less crowded. You're welcome.
Joshua Rollins — Google review
So....they gave us a discount because the two main attractions were both closed down. The lazy river finally opened at 12:30, as did the huge water slides. However, the water in the lazy river was dirtier than expected. Also, they let anyone into the river without a float. So one could not relax as there were screaming children running passed and banging into one therefore, a relaxing river ride was impossible.
The large water slides took FOREVER for my grandson to slide down despite his being one of the first to get in line. There was a huge wait between each child. I understand caring about safety but they waited for each child to slide down and THEN waited for them to exit the water before sending the next child.

We brought our infant son here and had a wonderful time! We were able to get a spot under a pavilion near the large water slides and spend the day there. The splash area was perfect for smaller kids and even our infant had a great time. The adult slides were never crowded and were tons of fun too. The lazy river was relaxing and definitely a welcomed part of the park. There are lots of splash areas around, but this is the only one with a lazy river. There is a food station and the food is good and reasonable priced. My husband and I shared a 6-piece tenders meal with fries and a soda for $10.00. The lifeguards are very vigilant and the place was constantly being sanitized. The price of $15.00 per person was definitely justified. We will definitely recommend this place and be coming back ourselves!
Shepard Park is a charming green space located near US1, equipped with a boat launch and dock that offers fishing, walking and picnicking with grills. This hidden gem boasts a small boardwalk that offers superb views of sailboats sitting out on the water. The park also offers a short trail which has recently been painted by United Way for children to enjoy various stations and activities along the way.
Really like the sunshade over the play area. Modest sized play area but with great views and clean bathrooms. Decent parking as well.

Another hidden gem right off of US1. Small little park with plenty of parking. The clouds weren’t cooperating with a nice sunset tonight but it was still super peaceful. Nice boardwalk (not like the up north east coast beaches boardwalks). Literally boards you walk on. Superb views of sailboats sitting out in the water. There are a few benches on the path to sit down and relax and people watch if you’re into that. You’ll enjoy it. Trust me.

Wonder but small park with a great view of the St. Lucie river. There are alot of dogwalkers and squirrel feeders here. Also a few homeless. A nice large fenced children's area with swings and slides. And a couple pavilions with bbq grills.
The Saint Lucie Lock and Dam is a fascinating spot to visit in Florida. It's part of the Okeechobee Waterway, which connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Gulf of Mexico. The lock allows boats to pass through from one side to the other, while visitors can observe this engineering marvel in action. The dam helps regulate water levels in the area and provides opportunities for fishing and wildlife viewing.
Santa Lucea Beach is a favorite spot for many visitors, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere perfect for enjoying with family and friends. The beach is known for its invigorating waves and decent, fairly safe beaches. Adventurers can explore the coast, searching for spots with or without rocks near the shoreline. The beautiful water and big rocks make it an ideal place to take a leisurely walk, although it can get crowded on weekends, making parking a bit of a challenge.
Beautiful beach! I was there later in the day so it wasn't crowded at all. I was hoping to find some shells, but didn't walk away with much. It was quite windy, but I was expecting that and didn't mind. I would recommend wearing water shoes if you plan to walk on/near the rocks. Maybe I'm just clumsy but I found myself tripping on buried rock. I had on water shoes but if I hadn't had them on, I'd have some stubbed toes! No restrooms here, but plenty of parking and an area to rinse off your feet. I'd come back to this beach again for the low crowds.

Memorial Park is a peaceful and spacious green space that boasts footpaths, lawns, and a pond with a fountain. It is home to several U.S. war memorials, all of which are well-crafted and well-maintained. In addition to the memorials, there are tennis courts and lots of covered seating on offer.

I had a wonderful time during the Stuart tree lighting. The park was beautiful. It was fun to see the variety of decorations used on the trees. There was free popcorn and hot chocolate. We got a picture of my Niece with Santa. The Grinch was shown on a huge outdoor screen. I definitely recommend visiting before the trees are removed.

A rather large park for it's location in the area. There are Tennis Courts, lots of covered seating, a fountain in the middle of a pond that has Turtles. Parking is available in front, on-street without issue. The memorials here are very well done and the place is maintained well. There is a Military Museum behind the park as well. If you enjoy a nice, cozy park with these types of memorials, you'll appreciate this place.

Just a central park in the downtown of a small city. Good place to stop if you are on a drive and need a break. Some food places but most local shops are closed on Sunday
The Road To Victory Military Museum is a small exhibition center located in Martin County, showcasing an impressive collection of military artifacts and vehicles from various wars including World War II and the Civil War. The museum is housed in a historic WWII barracks building, adding to its historical significance. Visitors can learn about American military history through interactive exhibits and knowledgeable guides who offer insights into the displays. However, some of the outdoor vehicles require maintenance.
Cool little museum to visit if you like to learn all about WW2. Guides are very knowledgeable. Support them with your donation.

I wasn’t expecting much, but this military museum is packed full of military history. Welcoming greeters and we had a knowledgeable and eager young man to give us the tour. Really enjoyed it. This museum is worth a visit. Open on Saturdays only, with free admission.

I really like this little museum. The best part about it is that its not like every other museum where everything is super in line and order, but this is simply a nice little non profit museum only dedicated to show and teach history. Great place, highly recommended.

I found this amazing location on pure chance and I was so glad I did. It is kind of hidden off the road, but was wonderful to visit. The building is actually a WW2 bunkhouse that had been relocated from John Dickson State Park. There are so many incredible pieces of military history there. All donated or on loan. It is worth the trip and the donation to enter. Such a small place and a huge amount of history to explore. Try it and you won't be sorry.

Awesome little WW2 museum! It's 100% free unless you want to put something in the donation box. Packed with artifacts and memorabilia from all sides of the battle. Have most of the popular infantry firearms and allowed to handle them with the museum guide. Guide was friendly and informative. A real gem for any WW2 enthusiast.

Great experience. Great people. So much historical material and artifacts. Martin counties greatest historical secret. Even the building it is in was used in world war 2 .....go check out.

The market offers ample covered parking and easy access from Route 1 with no admission fee required. One of the standout stores is Tropical Storm which sells wood decorations, pottery and other beach-themed items at reasonable prices.

Cool market with food and live entertainment. Lots of covered parking and easy to get right off us 1. My favorite store was the tropical storm with a lot of wood decorations, pottery and other beach theme things and the prices really weren't bad at all. The market had no admission fee.

So many different 'goods' for anyone. Coastal designed kitchen items, new & used in demand tools-wrenches to generators-used/new furniture, & more! Grab food, drinks, or even beer. Unique items for gifts or yourself at GREAT prices!

Don't go if you hate too much sun and are too old to walk around. But on a 70° beautiful day with the little wind blowing it works out perfectly. You can always leave with some kind of bargain! I got lots of plants today for a lot less than I would have paid anywhere else

Visited on Saturday and absolutely loved it. Very well organized with all types of products. I love buying sea and funny signs for my gazebo, and I found just the right signs for my Man Cave.

A great flea market, biggest one I've ever been to. So many options. Some were closed, because of the storms the day before and that morning, but still sooo many places to shop. Some great deals & a variety of things.

Love this place. Always a good deal or two to find here! The atmosphere is wonderful and it's a pleasure to walk around and see all of the shops and stands. Everyone I take here enjoys it and I can't help but go back every week I can make it!

We visited the produce area where we bought a few veggies and fruit at a good price. Need to eat what you buy within a day or two since nothing is refrigerated. Found a small shop toward the back that featured beautiful hand crafted goods. Sorry, can't recall the name but did purchase several gifts at great prices. Would definitely go back to this shop. Food is available but we did not eat there. Much of the vendor's merchandise is typical of flea markets. Recommend.
Roberta Carlson — Google review
This place was ok. There seemed to be a lot of junk and yard sale quality items for too high prices. There were some good shops mixed in. There were also a couple produce stands that had amazing prices. I'll definitely go back just for produce alone.

The BNA flea market is a unique place that had withstood the test of time and changing buying habits to remain one of my favorite places to visit anytime I am in Stuart, Florida for the weekend.
It's a traditional flea market with booths, and people who set up tables, and sell their wares. Many of the items are way below, retail or very unique making this a great place to go and find items that you may not find elsewhere.
The best part is it. The prices are usually way below retail!
I can only help that this unique flea market, a piece of Americana, will remain active and growing in Stuart for a long time!

So much is here. Lots to choose from! I'd be surprised if you went home empty handed. When I visit Florida I often stop by. There is a mix of new as well as second hand stuff here. Great place to check out on a Saturday or Sunday-- until about 2pm when they close.

We had a good time at the flea market. It was kind of old fashioned and was not overrun with new, cheap imports. The food vendors were great, too.

The B&A Flea market is a very interesting place. There's always something a person would want to get. In the first 5 minutes, I found something, I thought it was great.
The flea market has fresh vegetables and fruits, Make sure you get the heavy stuff last.
Check it out.

I went and enjoyed my time there. I read the reviews and didn't understand in particular the negative comments. It is what it as, a flea market.
Something for everyone, old, new, expensive, cheap, food, plants, produce. If you find something you love it's what it's all about. If not, maybe next time but it's certainly fun taking it all in. Parking was easy. Loved the produce. Will definitely go again!

Enjoyable and worth the visit. Lots of the establishments are under air-conditioned spaces. Many interesting stores with great item selection.
Market on Main downtown Stuart, also known as the Stuart Green Market, is a beloved local institution that has been running since the early 1990s. Held weekly at Flagler Park, it offers a vibrant atmosphere with live music and entertainment. Visitors can explore a wide array of vendors selling artisan goods, fresh flowers, baked treats, fruits and veggies. The market also features an impressive selection of food vendors offering delicious bites to eat.
Nice market to visit on Sunday's. There were more vendor's for both crafts and food this year, than there were last year. Music at the outdoor stage usually starts around noon.

I love the diversity of the Market on Main! They have the best Green Juice Product Ever! There’s this place called That Green Juice that sells frozen, sometimes thawed out if requested Bottled Green Juice smoothie that’s so amazingly health for the body that I use it everyday and I get a renewed week supply every Sunday. Owners name is Moses and the rest of the staff is very helpful and supportive.

The best vendors, they have plants, soaps, elderberry juices, fresh produce, jewelry, and pupper treats! Great place to walk around with the family or bring your pet. They also have food stands if you want a snack while you’re walking around shopping. Great place to get Christmas and birthday presents. Weekend must do
