What it’s like
The place. Sewalls Point is a small town on a peninsula along the St. Lucie River, and it is a quiet, mostly residential place. Residents are older than in most of the country, and nearly all of them own the homes they live in. Household incomes run well above the county's, home values are high, and very few people live below the poverty line. A large majority of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are mild, with January the coolest month and little or no snow, while summers are hot and rainfall is plentiful through the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in shops. Across Martin County, some of the largest workplaces are Martin Medical Center, Martin Schools and Walmart. Unemployment in the county is slightly higher than it was a year earlier, though the county has gained jobs over the past year.
Things to do. The St. Lucie River runs in and beside town, and the Elliott Museum is also close by. A short drive away, the Stuart Heritage Museum covers local history, and St. Lucie Inlet Preserve State Park is a protected area for time outdoors. For a longer outing, Jonathan Dickinson State Park is another protected area a longer drive away.
