We entered past the St Lucie Inlet through Jensen Beach and Stuart area through a couple bridges and decided to stay at the Sunset Bay Marina. It is a very nice Municipal Marina with many boats from up North that have been coming here for years and spending their winters. About half of them live at the docks but the rest live out on moorings and go back and forth. The marina has set up lounges for them and large picnic areas. In the morning it looks like retiree row when they all come in on inflatables and join with others on shore for coffee time and it looks like at night it is bring your own dish dinner almost every night. It is hard to believe how many boaters do this, there must be over 200 in this marina alone, many also from Canada and the Great Lakes too. Some I talked to went back and forth for years and now just leave their boats here for the summer in dry dock and come back each fall and put them back in the water and move on board. Seems to be one of the most friendly areas we have come across and they said that some had waited years to be able to get in here. It is also surrounded by restuarants and an easy walk to town where there are little shops and of course Ice Cream / Fudge shops, sounds perfect!
