A. The Sandpiper Bay Community was developed and named by General Development Corporation (GDC). The resort in its boundaries, now known as Club Med -- Sandpiper, bears the name as does the city’s gateway signage at its entrances. The geographic boundaries are the North Fork of the St. Lucie River to the south and west, Port St. Lucie Boulevard to the north and US 1 to the east (minus the commercial strips along the latter two).
These boundaries were re-validated by a district court ruling in the early 90s during/after the bankruptcy of GDC. Within the Sandpiper Bay Community’ boundaries are a number of HOA / Condo associations, all with their unique identity, including the Sandpiper Bay Homeowners Association, Ballantrae, The Anchorage, River Vista, etc. Sandpiper Bay is the area where the city of Port St. Lucie originated, although there had been previous development in the unincorporated area of River Park.
"The Sandpiper Bay area (Sandpiper) is defined as the area within the following boundaries: Beginning at the intersection of the East shoreline of the North fork of the St. Lucie River and Port St. Lucie Boulevard proceeding East along the South side of Port St. Lucie Boulevard to Delano Road and then South along both sides of Delano Road and Carthage Road across Howard Creek and continuing South along the West side of Giffen Avenue and Bakersfield Street to the Martin County line, thence South to the South boundary of the city, thence West along said South boundary to the North fork of the St. Lucie River and then North along the East shore of the said river to the point of beginning, all being and lying within the corporate limits of the city of Port St. Lucie, Florida."
