A Private Coastal Community Positioned for Seamless Access

In South Florida, where you land can be just as important as where you live — especially for those who travel privately. While the Palm Beaches remain a cultural and social hub, private aviation access in the region is often shaped by seasonal airspace considerations that require additional planning during peak months.

As a result, many private flyers are choosing to land north of the Palm Beaches in Stuart, where access remains more predictable while still offering easy proximity to everything the region has to offer. This strategic shift allows travelers to enjoy South Florida on their own terms — without sacrificing convenience, privacy, or connection.

Why Landing North of the Palm Beaches Makes Sense for Private Flyers

Private aviation is built around control and flexibility. For experienced flyers, the appeal of landing north of the Palm Beaches lies in the ability to maintain that control year-round.

Seasonal temporary flight restrictions tied to federal security operations in Palm Beach County are a well-known consideration within the private aviation community. While these measures are routine, they can introduce additional layers of coordination for flights arriving farther south.

A Strategic Private Aviation Gateway in Stuart

Just inland from the coast, Witham Field (SUA) in Stuart, Florida plays a key role in this shift. Positioned outside the Palm Beach airspace corridor, Witham Field offers private and charter aviation access that remains reliably operational throughout the season.

Witham Field also features on-site U.S. Customs and Border Protection, allowing international travelers to clear customs locally rather than routing through larger, more congested airports. This capability supports flexible itineraries and simplifies international travel planning.

Proximity to the Palm Beaches Without the Complications

Landing north of the Palm Beaches does not mean being disconnected from them. In fact, this location offers a unique balance.

Jupiter and the greater Palm Beach region are within easy reach, making it simple to enjoy waterfront dining, golf, cultural events, and private clubs. Residents and visitors can participate fully in the Palm Beach lifestyle — then return to a setting that feels calmer, more private, and distinctly residential.

This combination of proximity and separation is a defining advantage for those who value access without constant congestion.

A Private Coastal Community Positioned for Seamless Access

Less than 15 minutes from Witham Field is a private club community located at the southernmost tip of Hutchinson Island — surrounded by three bodies of water: the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the St. Lucie River.

This rare geography shapes everyday life within the community. More than two-thirds of the residences enjoy water views, as does the clubhouse, reinforcing a constant connection to the surrounding environment.

Residents have access to an exceptional suite of private amenities, including:

• one of Florida’s largest privately owned marinas, with 84 slips accommodating yachts up to 100 feet
• a Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course, highlighted by the signature 18th hole, Window to the Sea
• a 60,000-square-foot oceanfront clubhouse with dining, fitness, social spaces, and a full-service spa
• seven HydroGrid tennis courts, four pickleball courts, and a comprehensive wellness and recreation program

Access throughout the community is reserved exclusively for residents and their guests, reinforcing a sense of privacy that aligns with the expectations of private aviation users.
