Stuart Florida

Stuart Florida is one of the beaches of the “Treasure Coast” named after the treasures that sporadically wash up from ships just off the coast here.

These Spanish ships lost the battle with a storm over 700 years ago and as they continue to disintegrate they slowly release their goodies.

Occasionally, okay, not too often but sometimes, a real treasure in gold or silver will wash up on shore and some lucky person will be there at that very moment to swoop it up.

Of course, professional treasure hunters have explored the ships but remnants get buried deep down on the ocean floor and only certain types of wave action will unearth them and bring them in. Hopefully, you will be the one walking along the beach at that time, minding your own business, and then, WOW!

Stuart Florida is known for great wave activity here which makes it a prime surfing spot and this is a great people-watching sport. I love to watch and am amazed at how they can stay on top of a surf board on top of a wave.

The beach has volleyball and basketball courts, a boardwalk and its own full-service food joint called Moondoggies- so you don’t really need to leave the pretty beach if you don’t want to.

Join in the fun if you see a game going. Not the time to be shy. Most folks are on vacation and enjoy meeting people from other locations.

Stuart is also known as Fletcher beach and has been coined “the stairs” because of its rocks and constantly evolving shoreline.
