Stuart Commerce & Culture
Due to the immense amounts of sailfish in the nearby Atlantic, Stuart has appropriately billed itself as the “Sailfish Capital of the World.” And thankfully, numerous marinas make access to that ocean’s bounty — as well as beaches and the Intracoastal Waterway — a cinch. In line with the city’s fishing scene and proximity to water, Stuart’s restaurants feature exceptional quantities of fresh seafood and beautiful views. Shops are curated affairs that cater to the people who make Stuart home. However, you can undoubtedly find a souvenir t-shirt or beach towel should you desire one. Stuart has maintained its small-town feel even as other communities along the Treasure Coast have exploded, which suits it well. It’s the kind of place where people are more than content to enjoy their evenings gathered around the pool under starlit Florida skies.
