CHARMING, QUAINT DOWNTOWN STUART IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SPOTS!! Located on the banks of the St. Lucie River. There is something for everyone....many fine restaurants, theater, art galleries, shopping and, my personal favorite....candy and ice cream shops. Here tourists and locals gather to enjoy concerts, art shows and fairs. "Dancing in the Streets" is one of the most popular annual events...you'll enjoy fine food and bands from all eras. Take a quiet stroll along the scenic boardwalk and enjoy the beautiful River views, floating boat slips and tropical breezes. Step into the past...visit historical buildings such as the Lyric Theatre, The Court House Cultural Center, and the Stuart Feed Store Museum.
