Fort Pierce is the county seat of St. Lucie County, set on the Indian River Lagoon beside the Fort Pierce Inlet. The historic downtown holds the restored Sunrise Theatre and a weekly waterfront farmers market, and the Manatee Observation and Education Center sits along the lagoon. The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum and beaches lie across the bridges on Hutchinson Island. I-95, Florida's Turnpike and US 1 serve the city. Homes include historic houses, waterfront condos and single-family neighborhoods.
