We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Al's Family Farm. They have an excellent selection of citrus that is delicious. You can sample the citrus and juice. The honeybell juice is the BEST! Sherry was a friendly and fun tour guide. You get to see the fruit from tree to packaged. We shipped citrus home. It is a great tour for all ages. It was a highlight of our week in the area.

The downtown section of Fort Pierce offers a lot of fun and great dining options for visitors. There is a free parking garage between Orange Avenue and Avenue A, between the railroad tracks and US Highway 1. There is also free street side parking and a huge parking lot in the vicinity of the Fort Pierce City Marina. Once parked, there many options, all within walking distance. The marina offers great sights of beautiful boats with restaurants and bars overlooking the Marina and Indian River Lagoon. One street to the west of the marina is the main drag, also known as Second Street. Sunrise City Theatre anchors the south end and north of there is a excellent steak house, ice cream shop, and numerous other dining and drinking establishments, boutique stores, a micro brew (Sailfish Brewery), and a place where one can practice throwing an axe. Not sure why someone does that but it’s pretty popular and draws a good crowd. Most restaurants offer outdoor dining options too. The north end of “downtown” is anchored by the AE Backus Museum and Gallery (near the Indian River) and Cider Works (near the railroad tracks). Every Saturday morning the marina area hosts a farmers market and a smaller farmers market takes place on Wednesday afternoon. Both are very popular and locals sell both produce and arts/crafts. When your done visiting downtown, consider a trip across the bridge to South Hutchinson Island and check out the views of the Fort Pierce Inlet and Atlantic Ocean.
