Not surprisingly, residents of Stuart enjoy spending their free time on or near the water. From boating to fishing to paddleboarding, the salt lifestyle is the foundation for Stuart activities. However, off the water, Stuart has numerous attractions, festivals, and events. For example, the annual Stuart Air Show draws families and aviation aficionados from across the region for a three-day showcase that features aerobatic and airshow performers, fighter jets, carnival rides, food trucks, and various grounded aircraft on display for patrons to tour. Other popular attractions in the area include Sailfish Splash Waterpark, the House of Refuge Museum, and the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center. For a nice dinner or speciality shopping excursion, locals enjoy strolling down the Riverwalk in Historic Downtown Stuart. Situated along the beautiful St. Lucie River, downtown Stuart is home to more than 60 restaurants and shops as well as the Lyric Theater, a community theater originally built in 1926 as a silent movie house.

With its quiet charm, friendly ambiance, and serene setting, Stuart is an ideal place for families, retirees, and anyone who desires a low-key, Florida lifestyle without sacrificing modern amenities.
