Hutchinson Island is the long barrier island between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean, running south from the Fort Pierce Inlet into Martin County. The St. Lucie County stretch along State Road A1A is a quiet mix of beach parks, preserves and oceanfront condos, reached by causeways from Fort Pierce and Jensen Beach.
Island roofs take salt spray and wind straight off the ocean, and both Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne came ashore along Hutchinson Island in 2004. Salt air speeds up corrosion of metal flashing, fasteners, vents and gutters, so coastal roofs need more frequent checks. The island has many condo and townhome buildings with flat or low-slope roofs, alongside tile, metal and shingle on single-family homes.
Hutchinson Island sits on a barrier island, between the Atlantic and the lagoon. Roofs here catch onshore wind first, and salt works on metal flashing, drip edge and fasteners long before tile or shingles wear out. Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30.
