After Stuart… 🤔

I have a week long workshop in Stuart in March and then four nights before I return to the Orlando airport. Where shall I go? Thanks for your suggestions.

After a week-long workshop in Stuart, you have several appealing options for a 4-night stay before returning to Orlando. The choice depends on whether you want to continue relaxing by the beach, explore nature, or enjoy city amenities and nightlife.

Here are some options to consider:

  • Jupiter / Tequesta Area: Just a short drive north of Stuart, Jupiter offers beautiful beaches, the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, and easy access to local dining and shopping. It’s perfect for a relaxed coastal vibe without straying too far from Stuart.
  • West Palm Beach: About an hour north of Stuart, West Palm has a livelier city atmosphere with cultural attractions like Norton Museum of Art, Clematis Street nightlife, and upscale dining. Staying here gives you a mix of beach and city experiences.
  • Vero Beach: South of Stuart, Vero Beach is quieter and ideal for a slower pace. Great for beach walks, boutique shopping, and low-key restaurants. The area also has several nature preserves and wildlife refuges if you enjoy outdoor activities.
  • Orlando / Lake Buena Vista: If you’d like to get closer to your departure airport and are interested in theme parks or resort-style stays, consider Orlando. Staying near Lake Buena Vista puts you within a short drive of Disney Springs, golf courses, and resort pools for some relaxation before your flight.

Other tips:

  • Consider how much driving you want—Jupiter and Vero Beach are closer and less stressful than West Palm or Orlando.
  • March weather is great for outdoor activities, so if you like nature or water sports, staying closer to the coast might be preferable.
  • Check availability early, especially in West Palm or Orlando, as March can be busy with spring break travelers.

Overall, if your priority is relaxing beach time after a busy workshop, Jupiter or Vero Beach would be ideal. For a mix of culture, dining, and some beach, West Palm works well. And if you want convenience to Orlando airport while still enjoying some resort amenities, staying near Lake Buena Vista is smart.
