There is truly no better way to end the perfect day in the sun than with a magnificent sunset, casting the world in hues of fiery orange, dancing pink, and bright yellow. Martin County’s sunsets are simply breathtaking, painted behind views of gentle rivers, spoil islands, and sailboats. Here are a few spots for you to check out on your next visit to Martin County:
- The House of Refuge Pier
This historic spot is situated on one of the thinnest parts of Martin County’s barrier island, and beach-goers can simply turn their heads between views of the ocean and the river. At sunset though, all eyes are towards the river, where the sun lights the water in orange and silhouettes the fishing pier in shadow against the bright picture of the sky. With the lights of the Causeway Bridge to the right and Stuart’s inlet to the left, the sunset is simply the cherry on top of these exceptional views.
- Stuart Causeway
Not only a great place for all water-borne activities, from boating to paddle boarding to windsurfing, the Stuart Causeway provides a different perspective of the sunset each day. Stretching out into the Intercoastal, visitors to the Causeway can see across the entire width of the river, giving view to the bright orange reflections and turning the river to flames. Simply the place to be for all adventurers, ride away into the awesome sunsets at Stuart Causeway.
- Shephard Park
Hidden away on the edge of Downtown Stuart, Shephard Park stretches out into the St. Lucie River on the inlet of Frazier Creek. A cool breeze is always present from the water, watching the sunset at this park is a special delight. The Inn at Shephard’s Park B&B offers a cozy stay where you can end all your nights with the beautiful paintings above the waters of Shephard Park.

A perfect sloping bridge for a relaxing walk, Veteran’s Memorial Bridge crosses over the South Fork of the St. Lucie River and its crisscrossing spoil islands, but time your venture over the river just right, you’ll find a breathtaking and gentle image of the slow and lapping rive alight with the sunset. A perfect vantage point, the top of the bridge turns the simplest of sunsets into a show always worth the walk up.
- The Deck Restaurant
One of the oldest and most unique restaurants in Martin County, the Deck also serves as an inn and marina. With the slogan “Free Sunsets Daily,” the Deck serves up classic eats, tropical cocktails, and the perfect painting high up in the sky each night.
