Ride horses, dive, snorkel, swim, and enjoy the coast
Florida Get directions

"A coastal destination about an hour from West Palm Beach where visitors can ride horses on the shore, dive, snorkel, swim, and enjoy relaxed seaside recreation." - AFAR
"A fast-growing southeast coastal community that retains a relaxed feel and relatively affordable housing, it appeals to retirees who enjoy outdoor activities around the St. Lucie River, the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens, the St. Lucie Aquatic Preserve and nearby Hutchinson Island about 12 miles offshore. Golfers favor a PGA Golf Club in the area, and the city serves as a spring training site for the New York Mets." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.
