About the Treasure Coast
The Treasure Coast encompasses Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties on Florida's central Atlantic coast. The name comes from the 1715 Spanish Treasure Fleet that wrecked offshore during a hurricane, scattering gold and silver along the coastline. Treasure still washes up on area beaches today. The region offers a quieter, more laid-back alternative to the Gold Coast to the south.
Vero Beach
Vero Beach is an upscale beach community with a charming downtown arts district, pristine beaches, and excellent restaurants. The Vero Beach Museum of Art, McKee Botanical Garden, and the Environmental Learning Center are top attractions. The beach is a prime sea turtle nesting area, with guided turtle walks available in summer.
Stuart and Jensen Beach
Downtown Stuart is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and features boutique shops, restaurants, and galleries along Osceola Street. Jensen Beach and Hutchinson Island offer uncrowded beaches and the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center. The St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park is accessible only by boat.
