Among the cities of Florida, Cortez Estates stands out for its inland position on the Atlantic coastal plain of St. Lucie County. This small residential locality lies west of Fort Pierce, where low, level ground and subtropical vegetation define the setting. The Indian River Lagoon runs along the coast to the east, a long estuarine waterway that shapes the surrounding region. Fort Pierce, the county seat, is home to the National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum, which documents the history of the U.S. Navy’s special-warfare teams.
