Highlights
St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park is one of Florida’s truly wild coastal landscapes – no crowds, no development. Just pristine mangrove swamps, ancient coastal hammocks, and a breathtaking stretch of unspoiled Atlantic beach. The only way in is by water, making every visit feel like a genuine escape.
On the return trip, keep a lookout for river wildlife and enjoy sightseeing along Sewall’s Point and Sailfish flats.
We’re proud to partner with the Florida Department of State Parks to make this experience possible, and a portion of every fare goes directly back to supporting the park and its ecosystems for future generations to enjoy.
