Activities & Attractions

Hutchinson Island is just the beginning of your vacation adventure into the local cuisine this area has to offer. The variety of restaurants and clubs provided on this list covers much of our area and ranges from an easy pizza to the best in fine dining. We think it will keep you coming back again and again to try new venues any time you are feeling hungry. Enjoy!

Historic Downtown Stuart is home to over 60 locally owned shops, cafes, restaurants, boutiques, and the Lyric Theater, and that is just one of the many home grown shopping and retail clusters of this tropical coastal community. These unique and artistic shops will surely temp your souvenir purchases.

Directly off the shoreline of our special island is home to some of the best sport fishing on the Atlantic coast. The Treasure Coast of Florida is known as the Sailfish Capital and whether you are after a sport fish photo trophy or some hard fighting fresh local fish for dinner, the local fishing captain`s can get you to the best spots. If fishing is not your sport, there are plenty of ways to explore the rivers and waterways as well as the fresh ocean air with tour craft or private rentals. Like to kayak or paddle board? Rentals are available locally. Don`t just sit on the beach, enjoy the views from on the water! (Photo Credit to Johnathan Wright of Whites Tackle Store).
