Perhaps the most fascinating thing about St. Lucie, comprised of Fort Pierce, Port St. Lucie and Hutchinson Island, is its sheer vastness and diversity. One moment you can tour through ranchlands in search of unique Florida wildlife while in the distance you hear the mystical cracking whip of the real Florida cowboy herding his cattle. Then, just minutes later, you can float through waterways canopied with native mangrove trees leading to the great Atlantic Ocean in search of gamefish and breathtaking sunrises. Or if relaxing and unwinding is more your speed, 21 miles of natural beaches with incredible access are yours to enjoy.

Every nook and cranny of St. Lucie holds its own secrets and splendor, and luckily for curious visitors, the ways to discover them are so plentiful they could last weeks or even months. Learn how to begin the journey by visiting www.VisitStLucie.com.
