History buffs can revisit stories and markers from early pioneer days by hiking along interpretive nature trails; learn how the Navy SEALs first began in Fort Pierce; see authentic artifacts dating back to World War II and beyond at the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum; follow the Highwaymen Heritage Trail or the Zora Neale Hurston Dust Tracks Trail to learn more about these famed artists; and visit the Regional History Museum to really delve into St. Lucie’s past.

Traveling with the family? Take in coastal views from family-friendly resorts, and immerse yourself and your loved ones in the serenity of nature. With a wide range of attractions, there’s no shortage of fun. Families can expect an active and accommodating vacation in St. Lucie.

With several breweries, and passion of the craft from each of them, St. Lucie is a hops-haven. Beer-enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate following their palate along the ale trail—and there’s even a Florida vineyard and winery on the trail, too.

Creatively designed golf courses offer excitement for the beginner just starting out, and for the lifelong player looking for a challenge. Golf in St. Lucie comes with sunshine, gorgeous views and wildlife, and exceeds expectations with attractions off the course.

Hiking in St. Lucie is more than just a walk. It’s a land-dive into Florida’s tropical nature. Through the flight of the osprey, a manatee swimming in a nearby river, and air freshly filtered through exotic plants, following these trails gives life to the soul. Education comes in the form of historical landmarks, interactive QR codes that offer area information, and nature centers with expert guides to share even more knowledge.

Indulge in truly local seafood while enjoying the savory scent of cilantro-topped, blackened-fish tacos; put some fresh oysters, and a local craft brew on the side. Take in the tunes of a local band, and admire the ocean view. That’s a meal in St. Lucie.

Sometimes the best vacations invite relaxation. Connect with nature in the tractable sand by practicing yoga on the beach; let massage soften tense muscles under a cabana with the ocean waves creating a meditative calm; or escape to a secluded cottage surrounded by moss-draped oak trees for an indulgent array of spa treatments.
