Newcomers to the Treasure Coast soon learn why so many people decide to make this area their home. Compared to most other coastal areas in Florida, we have more miles of protected waterways, stricter environmental standards, and fewer buildings over three stories and large areas of unspoiled land.

The Treasure Coast area currently has over 125 golf courses, including 86 golf and country club communities, three barrier islands; a cross-state waterway; 75 miles of sandy beaches;  five ocean outlets; over 40 marinas; four major state parks and countless preserves, nature centers and wildlife refuges. Shopping is second to none and there are resorts, hotels and restaurants to satisfy every taste.

The cultural arts community offers an array of choices from Broadway productions and nationally known performers to classical music and civic theatre productions. Museums and galleries are also plentiful.

Eleven colleges and universities have campuses located in the Treasure Coast area and more are within an easy commute. We also have nine major hospitals and medical centers. New businesses are discovering the many advantages of locating in our area.  Scripps Florida and the Max Planck Florida Institute, located in northern Palm Beach County, and the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies and Oregon Health & Science University’s Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute, located in St. Lucie County, are recent examples of companies committed to making our area a leader in biotech research.

West Palm Beach and Palm Beach, our neighbors to the south, are less than an hour’s drive from most of the Treasure Coast and offer first class shopping, dining, and cultural activities. To the north are Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and the Kennedy Space Center all within a two-hour drive.
