In any light, Ft. Pierce is just a small town on the East coast. It has a few "nice" beach areas and a few clubs...in my opinion, it is a dirty little town with very little to do, however, it is relatively close to West Palm Beach and Orlando. If you are attending the flight schools, and want to be successful, you won't be seeing much of those towns. Go there to go to school, NOT to be a part of the town.
