Transient boat guests will find slips at one of two marinas right in Fort Pierce. Fort Pierce City Marina is located right in the heart of historic Fort Pierce. The Farmers Market is held on Saturday morning at Marina Square, just steps from the marina. There are lots of restaurant choices within walking distance of the marina. Walking around downtown historic Fort Pierce is reminiscent of another time when life was slower, and shop owners would chat with clientele.

Harbortown Marina is a full-service marina offering fuel, marine services, an on-site restaurant, laundry facilities, and pool. We stayed at Harbortown for two years and love the staff! The pool is a nice way to spend your day, and Publix is only a walk away. On a side note, for those of us who love to haunt boat shops and boat consignment shops, Marine Connection is a great place to visit! If it is boat related, they have it!
