Stuart Beach
You'll cross a weathered wooden boardwalk over native dunes before your toes meet the firm, shell-flecked sand that locals have claimed since mornings began. The lifeguard stands dot a generous shoreline where surfers paddle out near families spreading blankets, and pelicans dive into the same waves that glow amber each evening.
