My home is a special place, Beachside Vero (see map). An ocean breeze wafts all day long over our 24 miles of ocean beach, the most beautiful in a long string of barrier island beaches that lie off Florida's Atlantic coast - ocean to the east, inland waterway (the Intracoastal Waterway, or "ICW") to the west. And here in Indian River County (see map), the ICW opens broadly into the "Indian River Lagoon", where we fish among mangroves for Tarpon, Snook, Grouper; where we canoe, kayak, waterski and sail. On the other side of the Lagoon is our little City of Vero Beach - "The Mainland" - offering everything you could ask of a small city ... and considerably more.
Out here on the barrier island - Beachside Vero - we live under broad, shady Live Oaks hanging with Spanish Moss, Laurel Oaks and Sabal Palm; among multi-colored Hibiscus, wild Orchids; spectacular ocean sunrises, romantic ocean moonrises, and relaxing Lagoon sunsets. We sleep to a lullaby of breaking waves and scents of salt air, Gardenias, Jasmine and Orange blossoms; we scour our horizon for ships, and we comb our sandy beaches, stretching north and south as far as any eye can see, for little pieces of treasure. This is our special place - it can be yours - beautiful Beachside Vero - it's "Where the Tropics begin" - it's the heart of the "Treasure Coast" - it's where I will help you find your own "peace" of Paradise.
The "Treasure Coast" got its name from the wreck on our shores in 1715 of a Spanish treasure fleet sailing from Cuba to Spain. Most of the passengers and crew survived, but all the ships and all of their treasure went straight to the bottom. Since then, many a fortunate Vero beachomber has discovered a lustrous gold Doubloon in our soft white sands.
But, look, we're not some remote, barren island ... We just seem far, far away - both because of our small-town, no-Highrise charm and the relaxed atmosphere we offer. Here on Beachside Vero, strangers will greet you with a modest wave, a sincere smile, and a warm "Hello".
Beachside Vero is located on Florida's Atlantic coast, easy to reach by boat, car, yacht or plane. We're an easy ride from airports in Palm Beach (PBI), Orlando (MCO) and Melbourne (MLB). Private and charter aircraft use our local Vero Beach Airport (VRB), which was a World War II training facility for dauntless dive-bomb pilots (Yes, Douglas, pun intended).
We offer a superb city-owned marina that is a popular and favored yachtsman's rest-stop on the north-south Intracoastal Waterway and is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, beaches, parks, the museum and our live theater. It is also served by public transportation - and - it is right near our waterside 4-acre off-leash dog park!
