MARTIN COUNTY, FLORIDA—MAY 2019—Martin County is the crown jewel of Florida’s Treasure Coast encompassing the communities of Port Salerno, Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, Indiantown, Jupiter Island, Hobe Sound and Hutchinson Island.

Camp-Cation is a new idea that creates separate vacation elements for different family members but without the overnight camping status. For instance, mom and dad might drop off little Johnny at a pre-planned camp where he is involved with lots of indoor and/or outdoor activities. They might spend their day on the water, on the beach, playing golf or shopping, but at the end of the day they are picking up Johnny for a family dinner and evening activities together. It’s really a win-win for everyone and with Martin County’s surplus of adventures and seaside sensations, it’s easy to find activities that appeal to everyone in the family. Browse all of the 2019 camp options for ideas.
