Water is at the heart of Martin County’s natural beauty. To the east, the Atlantic Ocean offers sandy shores and rolling waves, while the St. Lucie River winds through town and the Indian River Lagoon — one of the most biodiverse estuaries in North America — teems with life. To the west, you’ll find Lake Okeechobee, Florida’s largest freshwater lake and a world-renowned destination for fishing.

Whether you’re paddling through peaceful mangroves, setting sail on open water, diving into vibrant reefs, or simply relaxing on the beach, there’s no shortage of ways to make a splash. Best of all, our warm, sunny climate means these activities can be enjoyed year-round.
