Port Salerno, FL Area Guide

A historic waterfront community in Martin County

Coastal Historic Active Peaceful Scenic

Situated across the Intracoastal Waterway from Jupiter Island, Port Salerno is a low-key coastal community in Martin County. Port Salerno offers residents access to multiple pockets of the Intracoastal as well as the Saint Lucie River, so water-based activities are understandably popular amongst the community, from fishing to paddleboarding and everything in between.

Port Salerno contains a working waterfront, supplying many of the local restaurants and markets with fresh seafood year round. The close-knit community comes together every year for the highly anticipated Port Salerno Seafood Festival, where locals congregate on the public docks and an array of neighborhood streets.

Port Salerno provides a bevy of condos and houses available for rent either with waterfront views or within a short drive of waterfront views. Getting around from the area is a breeze with convenience to A1A, U.S. 1, and nearby Interstate 95.
