Beach Lovers Rejoice

Forget the crowds around the neighbouring hubs and revel for relaxing days on Martin County’s uncrowded sandy shores, where you can pick a beach and take a dip in the ocean.

The area is also home to the award-winning “Explore Natural Martin” ecotourism program. Inquire about free guided ecotours like sea turtle beach walks and birding adventures.
