Fort Pierce Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals
Fort Pierce
is located about an hour’s drive north of West Palm Beach within close proximity to the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean beaches. This lovely community has a definite rural feel, focusing on ranching and citrus farming. There are several worthwhile places to visit in Fort Pierce, along with excellent local restaurants, entertainment and lodging choices. The Fort Pierce Inlet State Recreation Area is located on the north shore of the Fort Pierce Inlet. This 340-acre park with sand dunes and a coastal hammock provides swimming, fishing, hiking, biking and picnicking. Savannahs State Park is a semiwilderness area with campsites, a petting zoo, botanical gardens and a boat ramp. Other attractions near Fort Pierce include the UDT Navy Seals Museum, Heathcote Botanical Gardens, Jack Island Wildlife Refuge and the St. Lucie County Historical Museum. Fort Pierce is within close driving distance of several lovely golf courses and an easy two-hour drive to all of the Orlando attractions, including Walt Disney World.
The northern tip of what is known as the "Treasure Coast" of Florida, lies south of Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic coastline. Yearly rainfall in this area is 50-55 inches, with September being the "the rainy month," and June, July, August and October follow next. The semi-tropical climate of this area becomes quite warm and humid in summertime with lots of short, fast moving thunderstorms. Onshore breezes help keep it from getting too hot. Late fall, winter and early spring are delightfully warm and sunny with cool evenings. Hurricane season in the Atlantic runs late August through October, but direct hits are not that common and plenty of warning time is given for these storms.
