Stuart /Manatee Pocket/Port Salerno

The little fishing village (Port Salerno) an easy bike ride from Sailfish offered many treasures. We found the Art Gumbo Gallery www.artgumbo.biz that had several small shops with at art of various local artists. If you like nautical/seaside art this is your place and in several different mediums. Photography, shells, water colors, jewelry, etc plus there was a bar to get a beer. Nice. Then we went to a little hole in the wall for a late lunch that had been recommended called King Neptune. I am not a Reuben Sandwich type but Grouper Reuben was their specialty and I have heard about them up and down Florida so I tried it. It was probably my favorite meal since our trip started. Who would have thought!? Then we left and next door was a boating salvage store where we found a flag pole and lighthouse lamp. Then riding home we went by a waterfront park that had a kid’s birthday party going and a lot of people sitting out enjoying the afternoon. Good way to end the afternoon if we couldn’t be in Cookeville enjoying that party.
