Located off the coast of Florida’s Martin and St. Lucie counties, Hutchinson Island is a respite from the lively mainland. The beaches of 20-mile-long spit are among the state’s most beautiful—and surprisingly undervisited. It’s the kind of place where you can park it on the hot sand in the morning and only rouse yourself when it’s time to chomp into the day’s catch. To get there, travel along State Road AIA over the Ernest Lyons Bridge. Once you’ve arrived, the best way to take it all in is on foot or by bike.
