Hutchinson Island is a barrier island in the middle of the Treasure Coast of Florida, stretching a narrow 23 miles through both St. Lucie and Martin Counties with the Atlantic Coast on the east and the Indian River on the west. With an abundance of wildlife, natural beaches, and year around beautiful weather, the island offers a wide variety of outdoor activities for everyone including boating, golfing, sailing, swimming, fresh water or deep sea fishing, shelling, horseback riding, bird watching, and surfing.

From April through September Hutchinson Island becomes one of the most important nesting areas for loggerhead turtles in the world. The nest are carefully monitored and well marked on the beaches and whether you rent a water front condo or hotel room be sure to get up in the morning and look for the turtle tracks!

With amenities available right on the island such as grocery stores, gas stations, beachside restaurants, motels and more, one would never have to venture to the mainland. However, just across the Indian River are the quaint communities of Stuart, Jensen Beach and Fort Pierce rich in history and culture, great local dining, shopping, and local artist’s galleries.

Even though the island has everything you need, much of the island is left natural as the day it was when discovered, making it a wonderful sanctuary for the wildlife. It's not sculpted by endless rows of hedges like some of the islands just south of us but still very wild and free of man's hands. It has an abundance of public beach outlets welcoming our visitors. And you don't have to pay to park at any of them! The beaches are not overcrowded and most times you'll find you have the beach to yourself. The people are all friendly, courteous and very laid back. You will often see people strolling the beach with a glass of wine.

Hutchinson Island is probably the most beautiful place in Florida it may also be one of the best kept secrets.
