About Rocky Point

Rocky Point in Stuart, FL is a wonderful boating oriented community located just off the Saint Lucie Inlet in beautiful Martin County Florida.  Originally a fishing village because of its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean; Rocky Point is now a wonderful family community with a variety of different neighborhoods.  Most of Rocky Point is still oriented towards fisherman and boaters with many of the neighborhoods having access to docks, marinas and/or boat ramps.  Some neighborhoods have deeded dock rights as well as privately owned ramps and launch facilities.  There is also a selection of some luxury waterfront homes with private docks located only a short few minutes cruise to the open Ocean via the Saint Lucie Inlet and within a day’s round trip to the Bahamas.

Bordering Rocky Point to the north and west is the Manatee Pocket.  Home of the original Stuart Sailfish fleet (Stuart continues to proudly boast that it’s the ‘Sailfish Capitol of the World’).  Now home to a number of Marinas, Charter fleets and the famous Chapman School of Seamanship as well as quite a few excellent restaurants serving the freshest seafood arriving from the Ocean straight to the kitchens daily.

All this in wonderful family friendly neighborhoods within Martin County’s ‘A’ rated schools system.

One of the highlights of the year for Rocky Point is the Port Salerno Seafood Festival.  Held yearly in the winter, this free festival fills the streets of Historic Port Salerno.  In addition to serving up the area’s freshest and tastiest seafood, live music, community booths, arts & crafts, activities for the kids, pirates and more keep the entire family entertained the whole day.

Admission is FREE, though attendees are asked to bring canned goods in exchange for zero admission to benefit a food drive for local food banks.
