Fort Pierce,Vero Beach and Port Saint Lucie offers points of Photographic vision for the photographer looking for great photography in Florida.

Florida and the Treasure Coast

Going to Florida forget Miami, forget Fort Lauderdale and you can even forget Key West because the Treasure Coast has its own attractions without the heavy traffic you will find in those other places.  If you want to visit those other places like Orlando, Tampa Bay area, Fort Lauderdale then Fort Pierce, Vero Beach and Port St. Lucie are right in the center of Florida and a two or three hour drive from most of the places you would like to visit.    Fort Pierce is a laid back small town with a lot of big city things going on and many opportunities for a photographer to take some memorable pictures. Vero Beach is a little more upscale with some interesting places to visit such as the Riverside Cafe(Great spot for sunset Photography). And finally Port St Lucie has many parks the town of Traditon and a few ocean beaches to keep the average photographer fully ingaged in their photography.  I am typical of the many people who have retired up north and have decided they want something a little different for the rest of their life. In my case that meant leaving a big city (New York City) and moving to a place with a laid back lifestyle: Fort Pierce and the treasure coast. But the biggest surprise and the best kept secret on the Treasure coast was the summer weather.  Living in New York City for years I always thought that even though it can be brutally hot with all those canyons of tall buildings spewing hot a/c air over the humid days of summer, at least I was better off than living in Florida. Well I was wrong!  Especially if you are in one of the many areas near the Atlantic ocean and places off of the Indian River. In the daytime of course it is hot, but it can also be hot up north. Howerver during the evening hours you can sit in a nice riverfront bar and restaurant while enjoying your meal with only an overhead fan cooling you. Try doing that up north where the air comes to a painful stop during the summer months. How many Tiki bars with just overhead fans and no air conditioning do you see up north during the summer time.
