Vero Beach mixes a relaxed, ocean-side setting with a variety of activities.

Vero Beach in Indian River County is a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet geographically close to Florida's attractions.

For sports buffs there are challenging courses for every level of play, tennis on riverside courts or in a serene park setting.

Located on Florida' s east coast, midway down the peninsula, this quaint seaside city is surrounded by miles of lush, unspolied beaches and the Indian River Lagoon. A multitude of nature, heritage and watersport activities are available, from the Pelican Island National Wildlife Visitor Complex to ocean fishing at the Sebastian Inlet.

With all the indoor amenities, you won't be anxious to come inside, but when you do you'll discover excellent art and historic museums, galleries, theater, eclectic boutiques, and great malls and outlet center that rival the most cosmopolitan cities. The area also boasts five-star dining with an interesting array of cuisines.
