About Stuart Beach
Stuart Beach is a Martin County beach park on Hutchinson Island, just east of Stuart across the Indian River Lagoon and next to the Elliott Museum. It pairs a guarded Atlantic beach with basketball and volleyball courts, and the county lends free beach wheelchairs. Water is warm most of the year and mild in winter. Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
