Or so that is my opinion...... The Inlet State Park on North Hutchinson Island is the most beautiful stretch of beach on the east coast. They have picnic tables, grills and restroom facilities. You can hike around for the wildlife, play in the surf, fish off the jetty or just float around on the cove side. Naturally low tide is the best time. There is also a play area for the kids. If you are there at the right time you can see or swim with a few of the local Manatee on the Cove side.

Besides the fact that Fort Pierce itself is already 'off-the-beaten'-path, this tip is even more 'strange'. At night (not even only in the right season) things happen on the beach. Besides the great sky full of stars, little crabs ('wenkkrabbetjes') come to gather food. With their one big pink arm they make waving movements or even pick up fights with one-another about a girl or their territory. Hmm, how human some animals behave (-:

My father first came down to Florida back in the 1930s, so he's seen the state change enormously over the course of his lifetime. He says that most of Florida used to be the way that Fort Pierce is......
