Library and Exploration Lab:  Check out your local library branch!  An indoor retreat where kids can attend free programs, storytimes, or just sit and enjoy a great book.  Enjoy our fabulous teen programs as well!  Check out the Exploration Lab at the Blake Library in Stuart - It's a playroom filled with educational toys, books, and videos - a great spot to avoid the heat or rain! Call ahead as the room is closed during programs.  Free   Ages: infant-teen

Bathtub Beach:  The beach itself is protected by Bathtub Reef, making this an excellent spot for children to swim and snorkel.     Free
