Port Salerno

Landlubbers might say Port Salerno, Florida is the community situated in Martin County between Stuart and Hobe Sound. Sailors and fishermen, on the other hand, would place it less than two nautical miles from where the waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet with those of the Indian River and the St. Lucie River. Both, of course, are right.

As a boating and fishing center, its reputation is well known. Major sport fishing tournaments are held there each year. It is also home to the internationally known Chapman School of Seamanship.

Today, the once incorporated town lies in an area that is one of the fastest- growing in the county. The area's potential for development was recognized in the early 1970s by those who foresaw potential for people who enjoyed golf as much as they did boating. They established the county's first golf course community, the Yacht and Country Club of Stuart, with deep water canals leading out to the ocean.
