Hutchinson Island Cleanup and Restoration

The chosen nesting destination for some of the ocean’s most endangered sea turtles, Hutchinson Island is a long, thin barrier island that stretches from Ft. Pierce to Stuart, FL. With the Gulf Stream coming close to our shores, the beaches of Hutchinson Island offer some of the best shelling and sea glass hunting opportunities around. Hutchinson Island has 23 miles of unspoiled beaches with natural sand dunes. There are many different accesses to the beach and even though they are on the same stretch of land, the beaches differ from one another. Some of Hutchinson Island’s beaches are miles and miles of pristine sand while others are gorgeous rocky banks such as located at the House of Refuge at Gilberts Bar Museum. Just past the House of Refuge is Bathtub Beach, a favorite of families with children.

Due to the calm, shallow waters during low tide, children can enjoy themselves and the reef offers snorkeling opportunities to see beautiful ocean wildlife. In the northern part of Hutchinson Island is Frederick Douglass Park which is 3.7 acres of untouched beach area that includes full facilities and even horseback riding. Walton Rocks Beach is not far away of the park and is 24 acres of dog-friendly beach where dogs are allowed to run off-leash. You can also watch the waves roll in while you enjoy a tropical beverage and a seafood dinner oceanside or dine at many of the waterfront restaurants that line the inlets and the Indian River Lagoon and canals. Unfortunately even Hutchinson Island can be struck by water and flood damage, fire damage, mold infestation and biohazards. So, when residents and business owners in the Hutchinson area need a premier cleanup and restoration company, SERVPRO is prepared to help. 

And don’t miss the Elliott Museum, which has been a Martin County Institution for over 50 years and houses permanent exhibits such as the Wheels of Change, which is the most comprehensive assemblage of Model A trucks in the world, the Baseball Gallery which has the most comprehensive signed collection of baseball-related items outside the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, the Treasure Coast History exhibit, the Maritime History exhibit, the Sterling Elliott Inventions exhibit, local resident and actor Frances Langford exhibit and is host to many traveling exhibits.
