Dockside Inn & Resort

Waterfront Vibes and Weekend Tunes in Fort Pierce

Dockside Inn & Resort is a relaxed, beachy getaway nestled on the Fort Pierce inlet in South Florida. With a laid-back coastal vibe, this hotel offers a private beach, tropical gardens, and incredible water views from nearly every room. Whether you're in town for a show or just soaking in the local scene, it's a scenic base for music lovers looking to stay near the action.

Each room includes free Wi-Fi, a microwave, mini-fridge, and sink—perfect for late-night snacks after a concert. Many rooms overlook the pool, gardens, or waterfront, adding a peaceful touch to your stay. The hotel also features two outdoor pools and an on-site tiki bar and grill with regular weekend live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

Dockside Inn & Resort is just a short drive from Fort Pierce's local concert venues and bars, making it a convenient option for catching live acts without the hassle. The live music at the on-site tiki bar means you can keep the party going or enjoy a more low-key vibe without leaving the property. While check-out is on the early side at 9:00 AM, the 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before evening events. The setting is quiet enough for a restful post-show wind-down.
