If you love history and antiques this is a great spot to visit. If you love antique cars, they have a big selection of them. There's also a cafe to have lunch. It's also right at the entrance to the Stuart Public beach.

There are many beach accesses once you cross the bridge and head toward the ocean. I can advise you where to go if you want a big public beach or a cozier spot to swim and enjoy the sun. Don't forget your sunscreen if you aren't from Florida!

One of our favorite places to hear music. It's more a concert venue that serves alcohol, rather than a bar that has a band off to the side. It's mostly about the music here!

City advice
Getting around
StuartGroove
This site lists the majority of music venues and solo musicians in the Stuart area. We can advise you on venues and musicians as we are music lovers and frequently go out to hear music.
What to pack
Don't forget your sunscreen!
You don't want to ruin your trip by getting a sunburn. Reapply every hour if you're at the beach. If you're fair-skinned and not used to our sun in the summer, it wouldn't hurt to reapply even if you are outside just sightseeing. A big hat is a good idea also.
Don't miss
Rocking River walk Every Sunday there's a different band.
Go right downtown, sit on the steps, or under the trees, and look out over the river while you listen to a variety of genres of bands.
