• Visit Fort Pierce, Florida for a tropical getaway.florida beachs image by Photoeyes from Fotolia.com
  
  Fort Pierce is both an inlet and a small, 101-year-old city on the eastern Atlantic coast of Florida. Because of its age, Fort Pierce carries unique history and according to the cities website, "the rural past can still be felt in the peaceful quality of life." This relaxing way of living paired with a small suburban town and the tropics of Florida gives travelers many reasons to visit Fort Pierce. The white beaches still provide prime surfing, fishing and kayaking without the crowds of larger areas like Palm Beach, located 67 miles south of Fort Pierce.
