Downtown Stuart is a cute stretch of shops and restaurants.
There’s something extraordinary about touching a stingray, seeing a sea turtle up close, and witnessing a feeding frenzy in a 750,000-gallon game fish lagoon. You’ll find all this and then some on a visit to the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center. The facility features boasts learning with aquariums, nature trails, a butterfly garden, a children’s pavilion, a visitor center, a gift shop and more.
