Stuart Beach, Florida

While in Florida we naturally went to the beach. We spent one morning at Stuart Beach on the Atlantic coast. Earlier in the week, the surf was too rough for swimming. We assumed that the surf would be bad again so we didn't bring our swimsuits. Our plan was to go to a different beach later in the day. Unfortunately, the afternoon was rainy. Thankfully, this visit was fun.

Since the surf was heavy, the beach had a drop-off by the water. The kids loved jumping off and climbing up a sandy micro-cliff.

Getting wet

We did not encourage our children to get wet and could not stop them. We should have just had them wear their swimsuits anyway. Oh well!

Attempting to dry out, we went to a playground in the parking lot which was small but fun.

The bathroom had an incredible mosaic. "Save Our Coral Reefs" by Brenda Leigh depicts a fun seascape. Jensen Beach High School art students helped with creating the mural.
