WELCOME 6 Tips for Visitors

6 TIPS FOR VISITORS WELCOME TO VERO BEACH! WE AT VERO BEACH MAGAZINE ARE SO HAPPY TO CALL THIS TOWN HOME THAT WE WANT TO HELP YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS WE DO. LET’S BEGIN WITH A FEW SIMPLE TIPS.

1. BODY BASICS You’re visiting the Sunshine State, so let’s begin with sun protection. Sunscreen should be a part of your daily routine.

Use at least SPF 30 and don’t skimp in applying it; avoiding sun damage helps keep your skin young and lowers your risk of skin cancer. And don’t forget to accessorize with UVA/UVB sunglasses.

Insect repellent will also come in handy, especially in the early evening, when the mosquitos are on the prowl.

Finally, staying hydrated is very important, so it’s a good idea to keep a reusable water bottle with you.

2. DRESS UP/DRESS DOWN For Florida residents and visitors alike, shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops can become a virtual uniform, especially in a coastal town such as Vero Beach. Do bear in mind, though, that restaurants, bars and private clubs may have specific dress requirements, especially in the evening, and restrictions on cell phone use.

Calling ahead can save a good bit of inconvenience and/or embarrassment.

12/17/18 7:21 AM

3. DRIVE KINDLY Vero Beach receives visitors from all over the U.S., Canada, and even Europe, so remember that many drivers are still finding their way around and bringing a variety of driving habits into the mix. So practice defensive driving, be patient and let people in. There’s nothing more awkward than pulling into the parking lot at the supermarket or church and encountering someone you just honked at (or worse).

See page TK for some helpful navigating tips.

4. KNOW YOUR COLORS Lifeguards post color-coded flags at Vero’s public beaches, indicating current swimming conditions, and are happy to explain their meanings. Learn what each colored flag means to ensure a safe, leisurely swim.

ero Beach has an average of 232 sunny days per year, 27 more than the national average.

In the summer, afternoon showers are common and are usually followed by clear skies at sunset. The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs from June 1 until the end of November, although damaging storms are rare in Vero Beach. Thankfully, hurricanes are well-tracked with modern technology, allowing for an early and worry-free evacuation when necessary. Indian River County’s Emergency Management Division’s “Disaster Preparedness Guide” is the best source for advice on local weatherrelated events and is available as a free download at www.irces.com.

6 THINGS TO DO ON A RAINY DAY

1. EMBARK ON A GALLERY CRAWL

If you select 14th Avenue, the Village Shops or the Ocean Drive area, you will find numerous art galleries within just a few blocks. Most of your time will be spent indoors, you’ll see some fantastic art, and you just might discover the joy of walking in a light rain!

2. VISIT THE BREVARD ZOO

This option may seem strange at first, but think about it — many of the animal viewing areas are enclosed, and you can observe how different creatures feel about the rain. Spoiler alert: Sloths think it’s cool.

3. HAVE LUNCH AT AN OCEANFRONT RESTAURANT

The beach and ocean are always beautiful and inspiring, but a rain storm adds a special magic.

4. TAKE A CLASS

The Indian River County Library offers everything from baby sign language and children’s story times to adult craft classes, Scrabble games and movies. Some require pre-registration, but many do not. It’s great to broaden your horizons while staying dry.

5. CATCH A MOVIE

Visit the family-owned Majestic Theater for the latest hit movies or a live theatrical telecast from around the world.

GETTING HERE

BY CAR From north or south, Vero Beach is accessed easily via I-95. Take exit 147 (State Road 60) eastbound. In just a few miles, you will find yourself in the heart of Vero Beach. U.S. 1 runs north-to-south through town, but is generally used for local driving. State Road 60 runs west to Tampa, intersecting with the Florida Turnpike and I-75 in between.

BY AIR Vero Beach Regional Airport (VRB) offers nonstop commercial jet service by Elite Airways to select locations.

Private and jet charter services are also an option, or you can call Able American Jets for concierge jet service.

Melbourne International Airport (MLB) is a small, easy-to-navigate commercial airport only 39 miles north of Vero Beach. Parking is accessible and affordable, and security staff professional and helpful.

The drawback is that the selection of direct flights is limited.

Orlando International Airport (MCO), on the other hand, offers a veritable smorgasbord of flights with many domestic and international airlines. It is 109 miles northwest of Vero Beach, on Semoran Drive off the Beachline Expressway (County Road 528). Long- and short-term parking are available, as well as off-site parking locations with shuttle service. Shortcut tip: If you’re driving north on I-95, consider taking State Road 520 west, which links up with the Beachline closer to the airport.

Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is 80 miles south of Vero Beach, off the I-95 Belvedere Road exit. Long- and short-term parking is available, as well as rental cars, shuttle buses, taxis and other ground transportation.

While a handful still stand, over the years structural renovations and paved roads have left their mark on the neighborhood. Even so, the community’s intrinsic

character remains; tradition is Riomar’s niche.

HISTORIC MAINLAND The Vero Beach Country Club, McAnsh Park, and Royal Park neighborhoods on Vero Beach’s mainland are close to churches, the public library, county administration building, courthouse and, best of all, 34

028-049 VB101 The Basics HBK19.indd 34

f it’s wide open spaces you’re looking for, Vero Beach has that, too. Just west of the city, multiple new subdivisions are located outside the main hustle and bustle, yet convenient to shopping.

The area west of town is also the place to go for more extensive acreage, where you can build the house of your dreams and have space for children and horses to roam, as well as all the privacy you could ever want. Plus, you can build a barn big enough to house all your toys.

Much of the landscape is old Florida, untamed and unspoiled. Birds and other wildlife flourish. And if you really want to get into the spirit of old Florida, you might find a farm or grove with the original homestead available.

POINTE WEST Pointe West is a country club community featuring a 10-acre golf practice facility, tennis and fitness centers and both indoor and outdoor dining at a clubhouse boasting exceptional service and a varied menu.

BENT PINE GOLF CLUB Bent Pine Golf Club is home to a challenging golf course and a team of pros with a combined 40 years of experience. The clubhouse embodies the relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere of Bent Pine

INDIAN RIVER CLUB The golf course at Indian River Club possesses a classic design that hearkens back to the 1920s and ‘30s, while making the most of the natural surroundings. Residents enjoy a fitness and swim center, a clubhouse that overlooks a large lake, and a fire pit offering the perfect gathering place for old friends and new.

GOVERNMENT AND TAXES

I

ndian River County, part of the 19th Judicial District of Florida, has a five-member board of commissioners and five constitutional officers: Tax Collector, Elections Supervisor, Property Appraiser, Sheriff and Clerk of the Circuit Court.

All are elected positions.

The City of Vero Beach is the county seat and operates under a council-manager form of government.

The five-member city council appoints the city manager, city attorney and city clerk. Council members are elected.

One of the many bonuses to living in Florida is that it has no state income, inheritance, or gift taxes, making the state particularly attractive to retirees. There is, however,

a statewide sales tax of six percent and an Indian River County sales tax of one percent that apply to most purchased products.

Medications, medical services and most groceries are excluded. When it comes to real estate taxes, property owners are assessed ad valorem — based on the value of the property — and non-ad valorem by the county, city, school districts and special districts. Be sure to take advantage of the Homestead Exemption if you can.

Currently up to $50,000, the exemption is available to permanent resident homeowners living on the property as of January 1 of the tax year. Exemptions are also available for disabled veterans, widows and widowers, and people on disability. Visit www.

increasing as you head north, and “avenues” run north-to-south, with numbers increasing as you head west. So, often, even if you’re not familiar with an address, you may be able to find it based simply on the numbers. For example, 956 20th St. is on 20th Street between 9th Avenue and 10th Avenue. By the way, 20th Street is the local name for State Road 60. Roads named “court” run parallel to avenues, and those named “place” run parallel to streets. This information may make your brain hurt at first, but at least there’s a method to the madness.

On the beachside, there’s also a pattern, and a more fun one at that — botanical names, arranged alphabetically! From Beachland Blvd. (Barber Bridge) south, the streets are named after flowers: Azalea Lane, Bougainvillea Lane, Camelia Lane, etc., down to Iris Lane. North of Beachland Blvd., you encounter tree names: Acacia Road, Banyan Road, Cypress Road, etc., up to Mango Road. So you can navigate while learning the local flora!

THE SECRET TO FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND Putting aside GPS for a moment, there are a few fundamentals that will help you zip around Vero Beach like a native. First, don’t mix up your streets and avenues. In Vero Beach, “streets” run east-to-west, with numbers

WELCOME VB 101: Moving To Vero Beach?

MOVING TO VERO BEACH? TIPS FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION

1. ZEROING IN ON A NEW HOUSE

Vero Beach is a very safe place, but we do get the occasional break-in. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. A good security system connects the alarm directly to local law enforcement. Ask your Realtor for a recommendation.

Install the system before you move into your new home. Also, remember to change your door locks.

2. A MOVING EXPERIENCE Select a reputable, licensed and insured moving company. Many will also take care of most of your packing if you so desire. Create a plan for where you want to place your furniture and boxes before they arrive at your new home and label each box for its predetermined room. Planning will save you a headache in the end. If you have too much stuff or just want to store seldom-used items such as holiday decorations off-site, there are many mini-storage facilities in Vero Beach; make sure yours is air-conditioned.

Visualize your ideal lifestyle and make a list of priorities.

Contact a local Realtor and ask for an overview of different neighborhoods and properties that meet your main criteria, for example, beach access, tennis courts, a manned gatehouse or proximity to schools.

12/16/18 8:00 PM

4. POWER UP If your home is in the City of Vero Beach or select areas of unincorporated Indian River County, visit the Vero Beach City Utility Department, in person if possible, at 1046 20th Street. If your home is in any other area in the county, call Florida Power & Light (FPL), 800-226-3545. Your Realtor can guide you to the proper place. *As of this writing, electric service for areas currently served by City of Vero Beach Utilities is anticipated to be transferred to FPL. Your Realtor will be up-to-date on this process.

6. GETTING CONNECTED In Indian River County, both AT&T and Comcast offer TV, phone and internet services in a variety of options and packages, and satellite TV is available from DISH and DIRECTV.

5. COOKING WITH GAS If your kitchen or outdoor grill requires a gas line, call Florida City Gas at 800-993-7546 or AmeriGas for propane at 772-567-4394.

7. YOU’VE GOT MAIL The USPS has a handy online service to change your mailing address at usps.com or moversguide.usps.com. If you want to set up a post office box, visit the post office at one of five local branches: 3320 Cardinal Drive, 2050 13th Ave., 1551 U.S. 1 or 8500 20th St., and 3535 9th St. SW. Remember to change your mailing address directly with your credit card companies, banks, family and friends (if you want them to find you).

11. CLEAN SWEEP If possible, hire professionals to keep your home immaculate so you can spend your valuable time enjoying life in Vero Beach.

Make sure they are licensed and bonded. Your neighbors may have some recommendations.

13. GREEN IS GOOD Vero Beach is home to many small companies offering lawn and sprinkler maintenance. Go for a larger company if you also need a landscape professional to manage trees, flowering vines and the rest of your garden.

12. MAKE A SPLASH Many Vero Beach homes have pools and spas, so a maintenance company is necessary to ensure cleanliness and chemical balance. Saltwater chlorination is much better for your skin, so switch over if possible.

14. CREEPY CRITTERS If you don’t want uninvited guests in your new home, be sure to arrange for a pest control service to apply regular treatments to the outside of your property.

“A Land Remembered”

by Patrick D. Smith is the perennial No. 1 seller at the Vero Beach Book Center.

It’s an epic tale following the MacIvey family from its pioneering days in the early 1860s to later prosperity. The novel paints a rich and authentic picture of early Florida life and was nominated for the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

istory buffs will not be disappointed here in Vero Beach and

Indian River County. We are proud of our heritage and have lots of museums that offer a glimpse into our shared history and the events that have made us who we are. From

HALLSTROM FARMSTEAD A historic home built by Axel Hallstrom, a Swedish horticulturist who emigrated to the United States in 1898, is open by appointment.

historic homesteads that display how people once lived, such as the Hallstrom Farmstead and the Laura (Riding) Jackson house to the treasure museums exhibiting intriguing artifacts that gave the Treasure Coast its name, there is something for everyone.

INDIAN RIVER CITRUS MUSEUM The museum showcases the area’s grove culture: artifacts, photographs and memorabilia of the pioneers who established the most popular citrus fruit in the world — Indian River grapefruit. There is a gift shop.

LAURA (RIDING) JACKSON HOUSE Home of the poet Laura (Riding) Jackson, the house is the symbol of a way of life that was more environmentally sensitive. The historic house is open for tours on Saturdays, October through May. 255 Live Oak Drive Environmental Learning Center lauraridingjackson.com 772-569-6718

The main attraction in Stuart Woods’ “Orchid Beach” series is that it all takes place in the Vero Beach area, where Woods once owned a home. Here’s a line from “Blood Orchid,” the third book in the series: “Holly Barker walked into the Ocean Grill in Vero Beach and looked around for her father.” Woods’ bestselling thrillers are high on plot, less so on character development, with plenty of action that moves along at a brisk page-turning pace.

For straight-out laughs — about one every two sentences — it’s tough to beat Dave Barry’s “Best. State. Ever.” Barry proudly points out what makes Florida great and, often thanks to people who came here from other states, what makes it odd.

Rody Johnson grew up in Vero Beach and has written several nonfiction books about the area. “An Ice Age Mystery” recounts the surprising discovery of a 14,000-year-old “Vero Man” skull in 1916, the ensuing controversies and ongoing dig efforts. “The Rise and Fall of Dodgertown” is mostly about baseball, but there’s some “Zero Beach” history as well (a nickname used by early Navy airmen).

olf is not just a hobby in Vero Beach, it is a way of life. Our warm climate means every day is a great day for hitting the course. Some of the most talented course designers have proven their expertise within our county’s exceptional courses, making many of them favorites of the United States Golf Association and the Florida Golf Association. Even more impressive, six of our courses are Audubon International certified due to their careful attention to environmental concerns.

In this section, we have included an overview of our county’s numerous golf courses so you can be sure to play them all!

PRIVATE COURSES BENT PINE GOLF CLUB The Bent Pine Golf Club has been described

by Links Magazine as one of “Golf’s best kept secrets.” The course blends a picturesque landscape with a championship course.

Designed by Joe Lee, the course is located on 220 acres of prime hammock land, surrounded by Florida pines, citrus groves and ranch land with eight scenic lakes.

GRAND HARBOR GOLF & BEACH CLUB Grand Harbor boasts two courses: the River Course and the Harbor Course. The River Course was designed by Joe Lee and challenges the most seasoned player. The classic Pete Dye-designed Harbor Course is typical of a links style of tiered greens, undulating fairways and deep pot bunkers. A blend of grasses in the roughs encourages the use of a variety of clubs and a variety of shots.

4985 Club Terrace grandharbor.com 772-778-9000

INDIAN RIVER CLUB The Indian River Club is laid out in gently rolling terrain, close enough to the Atlantic Ocean to enjoy ocean breezes and still maintain the feel of a Florida woodlands nature preserve. The course was designed by Ron Garl, noted for his attention to the environment. In 1995, the Indian River Club was designated an Audubon Signature Sanctuary by Audubon International. It was the third club in the world to receive this coveted status.

JOHN’S ISLAND CLUB North & South The John’s Island Club has two championship, 18-hole golf courses on the beachside. The North Course, designed by Pete Dye, is laid out around old Florida oaks with great views that lead to the Indian River Lagoon. Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye designed the South Course that demands premium

driving with its well-bunkered greens and water hazards.

West Course The West Course is located on the mainland six miles from John’s Island Club on the barrier island and was the host to the 2015 USGA Mid-Amateur Championship. This 300acre course was designed

by Tom Fazio and built on a natural sand ridge that 92

features stunning elevation changes. It has been ranked among the most challenging courses in the country. Because it is built in a secluded area without home sites, members can enjoy an array of wildlife as well as the course’s natural beauty.

HAWK’S NEST Golf course architect Jim Fazio was commissioned in 1983 to design an 18-hole, par-72 course that would fit the “natural look” of the land with tall pine and oak trees abundant on the property. Because of this, Hawk’s Nest is one of the few “green courses” left in Florida. Long-needled pines, live oaks and nature line the fairways. This,

THE MOORINGS YACHT & COUNTRY CLUB World-renowned designer Pete Dye calls The Moorings golf course a “little gem.” The course is one of only a handful of courses in the world with the entire front nine surrounded by water while the back nine is graced with majestic oaks. With all the scenic

views, the course challenges the placement of shots.

Along with Hawk’s Nest, the course is certified by The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses.

POINTE WEST COUNTRY CLUB Rising from an old citrus grove, the course at Pointe West was developed in 1999. Striking bunker complexes were created to highlight subtle mounding, and some unique features were incorporated for several “risk/reward” situations. Most notably, the 18th fairway is traversed by a water feature just short of the green, making an exciting moonlighting-finishing hole.

ORCHID ISLAND GOLF & BEACH CLUB Orchid Island’s award-winning course was designed by Arnold Palmer.

The course is laid out against a backdrop of old Florida oaks, grasses and tropical landscaping, testing players of all skill levels.

As a certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program course, Orchid Island hosts a variety of wildlife in the ponds and in 94

QUAIL VALLEY GOLF CLUB Quail Valley’s 280 acre, 18-hole course was designed by Tom Fazio II and Nick Price and provides the perfect course to challenge all levels of play, from hobbyists to enthusiasts.

With rolling fairways and 60 acres of waterways, the course provides multiple challenges. Quail Valley boasts elevations of up to 62 feet and is, by most accounts, the highest point in Indian River County.

dinners. Lying on a sand ridge that runs through the county, RedStick was designed by honorary member Rees Jones, one of America’s renowned golf course architects. The result? A course with sweeping fairways of Bermuda grass, surrounded by oaks and pines. Sixty acres of land were excavated to use for fill on the course and, as a result, created six ponds. The sand ridge is 38 feet above sea level and provides a rolling terrain that challenges any level of golfer.

RIOMAR COUNTRY CLUB Built in 1919, Riomar Country Club is located in the heart of the central beach area, and is the oldest golf course in Vero Beach. It has seven holes that run along the Atlantic Ocean, more than any other course in Florida. Although it underwent a massive renovation

by Tom Fazio II and Nick Price in 2015, Riomar Country Club remains an “Old Florida” style course — generally flat terrain covered in Bermuda grass, accentuated by tropical flora, water hazards and plenty of sand.

VERO BEACH COUNTRY CLUB The Vero Beach Country Club course was originally laid out in the 1920s. Since the late 1990s, the layout and quality of the course have been enhanced. Fairway and green contouring has increased shot variety. Each hole is distinct and challenges the golfer with a range of risk-reward strategies involving the wind, doglegs, strategically placed bunkers, oak and palm trees, lakes and perimeter canals, and greens. The result is a course of unusual variety.

WINDSOR The 18-hole, links-style Windsor golf course was laid out by Robert Trent Jones Jr. in a traditional course design. The greens are placed against a rolling panorama of Florida native trees that border the softly rolling fairways. The subtle par-72 course is unobstructed by housing and is appreciated more with each round of play.

PUBLIC COURSES SANDRIDGE GOLF CLUB Sandridge Golf Club, owned and operated by Indian River County, boasts two 18-hole championship layouts. Designed by Ron Garl, the Dunes Course, which opened in 1987, winds around an old ridge that runs up the East Coast of Florida that was once used for mining operations.

The second golf course is the Lakes Course, which opened in 1992. This layout features one of the toughest holes in all of South Florida, the par-4 14th.

Players visit from around

the world to take a shot at its challenging island green.

The courses have earned a reputation as one of the finest public golf destinations in the entire state of Florida. Sandridge hosts the annual Treasure Coast Amateur Championship, which is a 36-hole, two-day event naming the top golfer in four counties.

SEBASTIAN MUNICIPAL GOLF COURSE The 18-hole “Sebastian� course at the Sebastian Municipal Golf Course facility features 6,717 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. Designed by Charles Ankrom, the golf course opened in 1981. A surprising feature of the course appears on the back nine, where on some holes golfers will have an audience of skydivers floating down with their parachutes open.

VISTA PLANTATION GOLF CLUB Vista Plantation Golf Club is an 18-hole, semi-private, par-62 golf course.

Designed by Arthur Hills, the PGA- and USGAaffiliated course is challenging for every level of golfer from the most avid to the beginner. The greens using ultra-dwarf Bermuda grass provide for faster putting and exceptional ball roll, nearly two feet faster than other grasses. Seventeen of the 18 holes touch water on this challenging course.

ero Beach has always been a town that values its many parks and recreational areas. There are 16 parks within the city limits alone.

Most offer one or more of the following amenities: playground equipment, tennis and/or basketball courts, walking/jogging trails and picnic pavilions.

Check out covb.org for City of Vero Beach parks and ircgov.com for Indian River County parks. Below is a sampling of the land-based adventures that await you.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING CENTER The Environmental Learning Center is a local favorite. The 64-acre campus on Live Oak Drive off the Wabasso Causeway has easy hiking trails that wind through palm hammocks, salt marshes and mangrove forests. Shady pavilions offer the perfect excuse to sit and stay awhile.

THE INDIAN RIVER LAND TRUST The Indian River Land Trust promotes the preservation, conservation and improvement of natural resources and special places in Indian River County for the benefit of the general public and future generations. One trail is a known favorite, the Toni Robinson Waterfront Trail on the west side of the Indian River Lagoon off 79th Street and U.S. Hwy. 1. There, instead of what could have been the site of multiple riverfront residences, a scrub habitat, oak forest and mangroves have been preserved. The Land Trust also has hiking trails at Bee Gum Point, Spoonbill Marsh and the Lagoon Greenway.

ST. SEBASTIAN RIVER PRESERVE STATE PARK If you really want to rough it and take an extended hike, visit the St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park. You can hike until you drop with over 60 miles of trails in 22,000 acres of wilderness. Trails are also open to mountain bikes and equestrians. If you decide to brave it, you’ll wander through forests of long leaf pine, grassland prairies, scrub cypress domes and swamps. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to spot a rare Florida scrub jay, a bald eagle or a gopher tortoise. The elusive bobcat also makes the preserve its home.

OSLO RIVERFRONT CONSERVATION AREA When you discover the Oslo Riverfront Conservation Area (ORCA), you will be surprised because you are less than a mile from a shopping center and smack in the middle of a wilderness. ORCA has trails and boardwalks that meander through 298 acres of mature coastal hammock, scrubby flatwoods and wetlands. Some of the live oaks that dominate the hammock are hundreds of years old. Native plants include wild coffee, myrsine, marlberry, firebush, native wildflowers, saw palmetto,

cabbage palms and a wide array of other species.

The Hammock Loop trail is full of birds and wildlife while the Scrubby Pine Flatwoods trail is at a higher elevation and contains bromeliads, large sand pines, saw palmettos and native wildflowers. The “Awesome Pine” is located in this area and has been documented as the largest slash pine in the world!

The Coastal Wetlands trail leads to a large wildlife observation tower over a pond, an observation platform and a canoe dock that connects to the Indian River Lagoon. Just 10 2

hether you like splashing in the surf or deep sea diving, Vero Beach has something for everyone.

SNORKEL AND SCUBA Vero Beach is a great place to snorkel and scuba dive, especially in the summer when there is less wave action. While we do not have the type of coral reefs found in the southern tropics, we do have reefs made of limestone and coquina rock. Seaweeds and soft corals live on these rocks and provide habitat for a diverse range of sea life.

In addition, we have four artificial reefs along the beaches of Indian River County, about 200 to 300 feet off shore. The first is located along the south beach of Vero Beach at a depth of 38 feet. The remaining three were placed in 1999 and are located at depths of 66, 71 and 73 feet along the beach front of Vero Beach.

Not only do we have 10 4

HBK19 Explore Outdoors_NEW.indd 104

reefs, we also have the wreck of the Breconshire within easy swimming distance of the shore.

And don’t forget to look for the silver plate and gold coins that lie close to the beach, the result of the wreck of the Spanish treasure fleet in 1715.

SURFING While surfing may not be your thing, it is for many residents and visitors. When the “surf’s up,” boards and their owners are ready to ride the waves.

Those in the know head for Sebastian Inlet next to the north jetty where a significant surf break creates waves that delight surfers of all ages. Over the years, local and national surfing competitions have been held at the inlet. What

remains memorable is that 13 years ago Surfing magazine named Sebastian one of the “15 Waves that Fuel Surfing’s Future.”

Locals also frequent Wabasso Beach and Spanish House. Take lessons or rent a board from Deep Six Dive and head out on your own or with your family.

SWIMMING If you love to swim, Vero Beach is the place to be. Not only is the ocean a favorite “swimming hole,” but we also have public pools at the North County Aquatic Center, Gifford Aquatic Center and Leisure Square. Modest fees apply.

The beaches are free, except at Sebastian Inlet State Park.

WILD THINGS YES, WE HAVE ALLIGATORS, SNAKES, BEARS AND PANTHERS; BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT DOGS AND COWS KILL FAR MORE PEOPLE EACH YEAR THAN ALL OF THESE WILD CRITTERS COMBINED? MOST WILD ANIMALS DON’T WANT TO INTERACT WITH YOU ANY MORE THAN YOU WANT TO TANGLE WITH THEM. HERE IS A LIST OF THE FIVE SCARIEST THAT MAY HELP YOU TO BE BETTER INFORMED ABOUT OUR LOCAL WILDLIFE.

1. FLORIDA PANTHERS We’ll start with an easy one. Not only are Florida panthers fairly shy, they are critically endangered. In fact, there has never been a recorded case of a Florida panther attacking a human.

2. BEARS Florida is home to black bears, which won’t exactly be strutting down Ocean Drive. But if you are a hiker or camper, you’ll want to “bear” them in mind. Campsites will often have “bear boxes,” in which you can store any scented items, such as food and toiletries (deodorant, toothpaste, etc.).

Otherwise, keep such items in your car, but never in your tent. By the way, did you know that the diet of black bears is mostly vegetarian, with small animals making up only a small percentage? In other words, they don’t want to eat us.

Black Bear attacks are extremely rare.

Don’t tempt them and don’t antagonize them, and you should be fine.

3. SHARKS Let’s face it: When we enter the ocean, we are stepping into someone else’s habitat. And while that’s no reason to refrain from frolicking in the waves, it is wise to do so in the guarded stretches of beach, which are clearly marked. The U.S. sees about 30–40 shark attacks per year, and on average only one is deadly.

Stay aware of your surroundings, don’t stray too far from the other swimmers, and always look to our experienced lifeguards for advice and assistance.

4. ALLIGATORS Alligators are plentiful in the Sunshine State, but living side-by-side with these scaly neighbors is not nearly as terrifying as you may think.

Unprovoked gator attacks on humans are exceedingly rare. Nevertheless, alligators need to be taken seriously. As with most wildlife, if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone.

Use good gator sense: Don’t swim in lakes or other bodies of water where gators have been seen or are likely to hang out. Don’t let small children or pets wander at the edges of lakes, especially during the hours from dusk to dawn.

While gators prefer fresh water, it is possible, though much less likely, to see them in the brackish waters of the Indian River Lagoon. If you want to observe alligators in their natural habitat, Blue Cypress Lake is a good place to do so.

If you are canoeing or kayaking and see the trademark triangle of an alligator’s eyes and snout peeking above the waterline, watch carefully, and you will probably see it duck under and resurface farther away from you. If you are walking and encounter a gator sunning itself at the water’s edge, keep your distance, and it will most likely slip into the water, where it feels most at home. And this probably goes without saying: It is illegal to feed or molest alligators in any way.

5.

SNAKES This may not be what you want to hear, but snakes are actually a valuable part of our ecosystem.

The part you DO want to hear is that, while Florida is home to 46 species of snakes, only 6 of those are venomous, and of those only 4 live in the southern part of the state.

The even better news is that most Floridians go their entire lives without spotting a single specimen of most of these species or a single venomous snake at all. And, like most wildlife, snakes will usually flee if given the chance. According to the University of Florida, the chances of dying from a venomous snakebite in the U.S. is nearly zero, due to the ready availability of good medical care. Only one in 50 million people will die from a snakebite.

You stand a better chance of winning the Florida lottery!

SHOP LIKE A NATIVE ONE-OF-A-KIND BOUTIQUES, SALONS AND GALLERIES ARE PLENTIFUL IN OUR TROPICAL TOWN.

V

ero Beach excites fashionistas and masters of gifting with unique, handmade and sophisticated items from around the world.

Enjoy an afternoon strolling down palmtree-lined sidewalks, perusing through our colorful storefronts and truly indulging at one of Ocean Drive’s three ice cream parlours.

Say good-bye to the humdrum of shopping malls, and revel in a stressfree shopping day along the shore. The following list is an overview of the Vero Beach shopping scene— there are many more places to discover than we could possibly include here. One thing is certain, though: if you are looking for something special, you will find it in Vero Beach.

SHOPPING DISTRICTS: BEACHSIDE PELICAN PLAZA AND THE VILLAGE SHOPS Pelican Plaza is home to jewelry, gift and clothing shops, as well as a popular dry cleaner and barber shop. A gallery and yoga studio are also found here, including professional services to help with everything from skin care to computer problems.

The adjoining Village Beach Market is a gourmet market with an array of delectable treats and wines for every occasion.

A visit to the Village Shops, northeast n Hwy A1A, is like strolling in a small town, with an elegant collection of clothing and shoe boutiques, a 12 4

fine art gallery, interior design services and accessories, an Italian market, a stationery store, spa services and a restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating.

OCEANSIDE DOWNTOWN Ocean Drive, Cardinal Drive and the eastern end of Beachland Boulevard This is a great setting for a day of leisurely strolling, shopping and dining next to the Atlantic Ocean. Shady sidewalks with benches invite visitors to meander through this district. The boutiques in this area are known for their one-of-a-kind and unusual products, alongside top international brands of apparel, jewelry and home goods. Hotels, restaurants, spas and professional services

can also be found here, as well as a local post office. Public beaches run parallel to this shopping district, and Humiston Park with its playground and picnic tables is perfect for families. Parking is available in two public parking lots and on the street. A Saturday morning farmers market on Ocean Drive has local produce, baked goods, handmade soaps and other unique gifts.

WHERE TO...Shop Like A Native

WHERE TO FIND IT noticeable rebirth of Vero Beach’s historic downtown has taken place over many years, bringing fine art galleries, original boutiques and restaurants galore.

As another creative hub, galleries and businesses host the First Friday Gallery Stroll from 5 to 8 p.m. on the first Friday of every month along 14th Avenue.

MIRACLE MILE The area referred to as Miracle Mile is a series of adjoining shopping centers with two major supermarkets, restaurants, an independent book store and consignment shops, as well as specialty stores for pet owners and sports enthusiasts. Miracle Mile is where everyone ends up for the necessities. Ocean Drive’s The Beach Shop and Kemp’s Shoe Salon and Boutique have outlet boutiques in this district.

ROUTE 60 WEST The Indian River Mall and the Vero Beach Outlets are both located at the western end of Route 60 in Vero Beach, as well as Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, and many other national chain stores and restaurants.

ROYAL PALM POINTE Originally the site of the Barber Bridge’s west terminus, Royal Palm Pointe is now a peninsula of shops, restaurants and residences culminating in a public riverfront park with a children’s play fountain. Marine, medical and professional services are also found here, surrounded by beautiful views of the Indian River Lagoon. It’s another great place for walking, shopping and dining!

U.S. HWY 1 If you have spent any length of time on the east coast, you are familiar with U.S. 1 (sometimes referred to as the Post Road). Typically a hub for less-than-exciting fast food chains and gas stations, our stretch of this highway may surprise you.

Independent boutiques, garden centers and local designers’ warehouse shops are thriving here, too!
