Fort Pierce, Florida

St. Lucie County · 404 restaurants

Fort Pierce's historic downtown, centered on Second Street along the Indian River Lagoon, has been rebuilt around its identity as a fishing and citrus town turned arts destination, anchored by the A.E. Backus Museum and a lively Friday farmers' market. The city's nearly 390 restaurants serve a mix of longtime St. Lucie County residents, seasonal snowbirds, and the boating crowd drawn to Fort Pierce Inlet. Citrus groves and commercial fishing remain part of the local economy, giving the seafood here a working-waterfront authenticity that's increasingly rare on Florida's coast.
