Hutchinson Island
is a barrier island on the coast of Martin and St. Lucie counties, Florida. The
southern one-third of Hutchinson Island is in Martin County while the northern
two-thirds is in St. Lucie County. It is bounded on the east by the Atlantic
Ocean, on the south by the St. Lucie Inlet, on the west by the Indian River,
and on the north by the Fort Pierce Inlet, which separates it from what is
known in St Lucie County as North Hutchinson Island, or sometimes "North
Beach." North Hutchinson Island extends into Indian River County, but it
is rarely called that north of the county line. In fact the Indian River county
portion which extends to the Sebastian Inlet is usually called Orchid Island,
although it is not a separate island. The Martin County portion of the island
is all unincorporated. Its southern part, which is sometimes called Stuart Beach, receives its mail from Stuart
Zip Code 34996, while the northern part receives its mail from Jensen Beach Zip
Code 34957. Source
