Why this plan works
The 3 stops cover about 0.4 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Fort Pierce instead of crossing town between them. Cobb's Landing is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Cobb's Landing — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, adults, and solo who want a planned Fort Pierce outing without improvising between stops.
