Santa Lucea Beach

Santa Lucea Beach is located on the southern end of Hutchinson Island. There are no lifeguards so…read moreswim at your own risk. There is free parking in the lot. The beach is accessed by a wooden boardwalk. The thing that interested me the most was informative sign display next to the beach that explained how this area was the site of a prehistoric Native American village of the Ais Tribe. I had never heard of the Ais before so it was interesting to learn about them. They fished, hunted, and traded with other villages. The Indian River Lagoon got it's name because of the way the Ais commanded the waterway in their dugout pine tree canoes. Jonathan Dickinson who has a park named after him met the Ais and spent several weeks with them after he was in a shipwreck in 1696. Most of what is known about them come from the account in his journal. The Ais were extinct by the 1700's after having been attacked and sold into slavery. All that is left are their middens which were garbage piles that tell archaeologists a lot about how people lived. The beach takes it's name from the 1566 Spanish fort Santa Lucía that was placed at an Ais town by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés who founded St. Augustine, Florida. The Ais attacked the fort killing 22 Spanish soldiers forcing them to abandon it. There is more information about the Ais up the road at the House of Refuge at Gilbert's Bar. They even have some artifacts. This is a lovely beach that it is not usually crowded. I love that the area is filled with ancient history. You can enjoy the same amenities that attracted people to the area 5,000 years ago.

Fletcher Beach is located one half mile south of Stuart Beach on A1A and just north of Gilbert's…read moreBar Refuge House Museum on Hutchinson Island. The Scott and Billie Fletcher Beach was purchased by Martin County in 1973. This is the only beach on this end of Hutchinson Island that I was easily able to find parking for. It does not have a lifeguard or restrooms so it is not as popular as some of the other beaches. While it may lack in amenities it is more secluded which is nice if you are looking for a more peaceful beach experience. From the parking area you just hike up a trail over the sand dune to the beach. The beaches on this part of Hutchinson Island have rocky looking outcroppings known as the Anastasia formation which was named by E. H. Sellards in 1912. The formation was deposited during the deposited during the late Pleistocene and the "rocks" are really sand and coquina limestone embedded with mollusk shells and sparry calcite. It forms cliffs and caves that form a habitat for sea life. It is not very comfortable on bare feet but it makes a lovely backdrop for pictures. If you are looking for a more off the beaten path beach, Fletcher Beach is ideal for sunbathing, beachcombing, wildlife watching, fishing, surfing, swimming, and photography.

They wanted to do something outdoorsy but safe so we decided to visit the beach for a bonfire. The beach was a quick drive from their condo and the parking was just off the road, and the parks department keeps the lot clean. You have to walk on a wooden path to get to the beach which is over a slight hill. The beach is large and well kept, we found a perfect spot to build a small fire and just relax and star gaze. As far as beaches go, it's a nice one! I didn't see any trash which is always impressive to me. This is a place I'd like to come back in the daylight to check out and do a traditional beach day. But if you want to enjoy a nice fire and beautiful night skies, this is your place! Kudos to to Florida and their awesome beaches.

Launch your kayak here, and use their posted paddle trail map to navigate! A lovely spot to eat your lunch, too! No public restrooms, however.

This tiny park is located at the east end of Cove Road where it meets the Intracoastal Waterway …read more It is the kind of small waterfront park you see in Stuart that looks like it was going to be a house lot but the city somehow managed to save it for a park. The park only has three picnic tables and a dirt parking lot. Although the view is stunning, the real reason to come here is to launch your kayak. This park is part of the Martin County Paddling Trail. If you have your own kayak you can launch from the sand beach and head east across the 3/4 of a mile intracoastal to reach the St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park which is the northern tip of a barrier island, ending where the St. Lucie River meets the ocean. It is one of the few undeveloped barrier islands on the east coast of Florida. This state park can only be reached by boat but it has restrooms, a free tram, picnic shelters, a 3,300 foot boardwalk, and an unspoiled hidden beach, From Cove Road Park you can also paddle south to Pecks Lake or north to the St. Lucie Inlet. You can have a lot of paddling fun launching from the park but note that the small parking lot fills up fast.
