It is easy to see
why Hutchinson Island
with its miles of
unspoiled beaches,
has been a popular
vacation destination
for almost a
century. The
friendly residents
and relaxing
environment quickly
make any visitor
feel right at home. Whether you are looking to relax and explore natural Florida,
sit outside and soak
in the sun during a
professional sports
outing or sit on the
edge of your seat
during a high-speed
hydroplane boat
race, Hutchinson
Island is the
place to find it.
Bicycle paths
connect areas
throughout the
county, and wind
through tree lined
roads that lead to
parks with marinas,
boat launches,
tennis and
racquetball.
The water enthusiast
will find the area a
paradise, with
boating, sailing,
skiing and surfing
all popular
activities. Scuba
divers can explore
shipwrecks and
artificial reefs
just offshore, while
those wishing to
stay above water
will find
opportunities for
fishing plentiful.
Scenic cruises are
also available on
the St. Lucie Canal
and drives along
Ocean Boulevard are
particularly
rewarding.
Hutchinson Island
and its beaches is a
perfect vacation
spot for outdoor
adventure and
relaxing recreation.
For an appreciation
of the maritime
heritage of the
region, Gilbert's
Bar House of Refuge
on Hutchinson Island
contains marine
artifacts,
lifesaving equipment
and historical
exhibits. Built in
1875 and the oldest
standing structure
in Martin County,
the museum formerly
served as a rescue
and refuge center
for shipwrecked
sailors.
When visiting
Hutchinson Island,
two of top choices
for accommodations
are the
Hutchinson Island
Marriott Beach
Resort and Marina
and
Vistana's Beach Club. |
