Located in the heart of Florida's Treasure Coast, Port St. Lucie is a growing urban area that has not forgotten about "the real Florida." Here visitors can hike environmental preserves, paddle down lush rivers, ride horses on nearby beaches, take in a major league spring training game and play a few rounds of championship golf. Birdwatchers and outdoor enthusiasts will take pleasure in the natural surroundings found at the Oxbow Eco-Center and the Savannas Preserve. The Oxbow, a 220-acre environmental education facility, offers three miles of trails through four distinctive habitats. The Savannas Preserve consisting of more than 5,000-acres, features camping, hiking and canoeing throughout its pine flatwoods and wet prairies. Scenic boat tours are also available along the St. Lucie River, where observers can spy river otters, alligators and a host of native birds tucked in among the mangroves at "Bird Island."
