Vero Beach

Vero Beach sits on the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean in Indian River County, Florida. The city features public beaches, parks along the water, and residential neighborhoods that stretch from the lagoon to the coast.

Settlers arrived in this area during the early 1900s and officially founded the city in 1919. The name may come from Latin or Spanish, meaning truth or true shore, depending on which interpretation is accepted.

The Riverside Theatre hosts performances and concerts in a waterfront venue. The arts district brings residents and visitors together as they attend evening shows or explore new productions.

Public beach access points are available in several sections of the city, some with parking and facilities. Most visits can be done on foot or by car between different neighborhoods.

Several large sea turtle species nest on these beaches each year, especially during summer months. Visitors can sometimes see tracks in the sand left behind by the animals at night.
