Often called the "Sunrise City," Fort Pierce is part of Florida's Treasure Coast, a stretch of land from St. Lucie Inlet to Sebastian Inlet along the Atlantic Ocean. Natural and artificial reefs make for good fishing and diving in this area of the Sunshine State. The Indian River Lagoon Estuary provides a haven for more than 4,000 plant and animal species.
Visit the city's revitalized waterfront downtown area, which has retained its old Florida charm and scale. It offers contemporary shopping, dining, great fishing and a range of entertainment and activities such as the Farmers' Market, Bike Night, Friday Fest, Jazz Market and the city-owned and -operated 1,200-seat Sunrise Theatre for the Performing Arts.
