We’re Teeing Up Summer Fun on Florida’s Treasure Coast

While every Florida region has its own charm, the Treasure Coast is one where natural adventures reign supreme. The coastal region spanning from Jupiter to Vero Beach is home to scenic waterfront trails, unique outdoor adventures, and a laid-back vibe that makes it easy to fall in love with the area. For 2025, PGA Champion Jim Furyk is about to add even more excitement to the area for those who love both the fairways and the waterways. Here are a few not-to-miss experiences that can only be found on the Treasure Coast.

Treasure Hunting on the Treasure Coast

Over 300 years ago, a fleet of Spanish galleons carrying gold and silver shipwrecked off Florida’s southeastern shore, inspiring the name “Treasure Coast.” Today, snorkelers still uncover centuries-old treasures in the water. The SS Breconshire just a few hundred yards offshore of Vero Beach is where one can spot colorful angelfish and the occasional sea turtle weaving through the remains. Near Fort Pierce, the Urca de Lima – Florida’s first Underwater Archaeological Preserve – offers plaques that guide divers past coral-covered cannons, ship timbers, and ballast stones.

A Secluded Beach Escape and Mangrove Adventure

Accessible only by boat, St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park offers a rare chance to unwind on miles of pristine, uncrowded beachfront. Visitors often find themselves walking the shoreline for hours without seeing another person. For a different kind of adventure, nearby Fort Pierce is home to Get Up and Go Kayaking, where clear-bottomed kayak tours lead guests through winding mangrove estuaries. Paddlers may spot blue herons, white ibis, and snowy egrets in their natural habitat along the way.

Tee Off Where Nature Takes the Lead

Golf on the Treasure Coast is legendary, and a great way to spend a few hours totally immersed in the area’s natural beauty. This summer, Glynlea Country Club in Port St. Lucie will make its debut as the first-ever championship golf course designed by PGA Tour champion Jim Furyk. The par-72 layout will wind through native Florida landscapes, with water features, nature preserves, and lush vegetation creating a serene backdrop. With five par threes, five par fives, and four sets of tees, the course invites strategy and casual play. Nearby, golfers can also enjoy public links at The Saints Golf Course and 54 holes at PGA Village, just minutes from Glynlea.

Ride the Rim of Florida’s Largest Lake

For those who love cycling, one of the most memorable biking experiences in Florida is just an hour to the west of Port St. Lucie. The Lake Okeechobee Scenic Trail (LOST) spans more than 100 miles around the lake’s perimeter, following the top of the Herbert Hoover Dike. Elevated above the shoreline, the trail delivers uninterrupted views of the water, frequent bird sightings, and wide-open skies.

Reel In Prized Summer Catches

The waters off the Treasure Coast are a haven for anglers, especially in summer when mahi-mahi, tarpon, and mackerel move closer to shore. The Fort Pierce Inlet, where the Indian River Lagoon meets the Atlantic, offers abundant fishing opportunities. Just south, The Crossroads, where four major waterways converge, is a prime spot for catching pompano, snook, redfish, and flounder. The nearby sandbars provide the perfect place to anchor, relax, and soak up the sun.

Stroll Through a Historic Waterfront Downtown

For a mix of natural beauty and historic charm, look no further than Fort Pierce. Downtown’s Main Street, named by USA Today as one of the most “Idyllic and Historic Main Streets,” features Spanish-inspired architecture and the cooling breeze from the Indian River Lagoon. Visitors can explore antique shops, enjoy local dining spots, or catch a performance at the historic Spanish Theatre. The Saturday Farmers’ Market is a must-visit for fresh goods and artisan crafts.

Embrace a Trendsetting New Golf Club Lifestyle

Located within Wylder in Port St. Lucie, Glynlea Country Club is quickly emerging as a hub for golf and active living. The private club community will be introducing a wide range of single-family homes, along with today’s most sought-after amenities. Highlighted by its new Jim Furyk-designed course, the Club will debut a Toptracer Aquatic Driving Range, pro shop, food truck, and racquet sports courts later this summer. These amenities offer a preview of the 10-acre campus to come, including a fitness center, resort-style pool, Fairways Tavern, and access to Wylder’s miles of winding walkways, recreational spaces, and 113-acre Wylder Park.

Treasure Coast Golf Homes on the Horizon

In the coming months, builders Lennar and Perry Homes will also reveal details about the available single-family home floorplans available at Glynlea. Priced from the $400s to over $1 million, each neighborhood is designed to offer stunning views of the surrounding golf course, lakes, or wetlands. Four designer-decorated model homes will open this summer, along with Membership information.
