From Green '23' head approx. 200 degrees to the entrance buoys. Five foot approach and dockside depths, slightly more in some limited areas; tidal range 1'-1.5'. Outside dock lined with rubber bumpers, many of which are loose or down. Exposed fasteners are present in these areas. The outside edge of the dock is exposed to waves and wakes. Inside of the dock much more protected from waves and wakes, except from the easterly directions. Large pilings line the inside of the dock, spaced approximately 40 feet apart. Many 'slips' along this dock have three cleats, others just two, some zero.
Some smaller boat slips present, perpendicular to the dock on the west side. Note the yellow 'no docking' paint around cleats on the far end of dock. At the time of this writing, 10-24-24, they do not appear to be in service, though a call to the city of Stuart may clarify this. This dock abuts to downtown Stuart with choices of many restaurants, some 'tourist' shopping; Publix and more retail shopping approximately one mile distance along the River Walk, then along Hwy 1.

Great floating dock, but you have wake protection. We were here on a pretty windy day (Nov. 28, 23) and had 5 fenders out protecting the boat and dock. We were having some boat issues and contacted the police department looking for authorization to stay on the dock overnight. The police gave us the authority to stay on the dock overnight with no issue. Great spot to downtown and restaurants.

City of Stuart owns the #12 slips for up to 35' boats, plus a 258 ft T-dock; all floating platform; is wheelchair accessible. Dockage is free, No Overnights! Anchorage is just off the docks to the East Only (not west!) with aprox 3' MLW. Perfectly located right in the middle of downtown Stuart with Many restaurants and quaint shops to Enjoy. On most Sundays there is a waterfront park of green market stands and music. Enjoy!
