INDIAN RIVER COUNTY
BY ILONA KAUREMSZKY
Sunrises, Not High-Rises
Indian River County, along Florida’s Treasure Coast, is
where green meets glamorous. Picture 42 kilometres
of sandy beaches, palm-tree silhouettes and commu-
nities packed with charm. Vero Beach, Sebastian and
Fellsmere exude low-key vibes and cultural richness.
Here the motto is “Sunrises, not High-Rises.”
Groves and Glories
Start your adventure at Schacht Groves, where
you can taste Florida sunshine straight from the source.
Their “Grove to Table Dinners” is a culinary dream, and
in season, picking your own citrus is a must. It’s a juicy
slice of Florida history dating back to 1950!
Play Ball Like a Legend
Sports buffs, get your game face on! The Jackie
Robinson Training Complex isn’t just a baseball
haven—it’s a shrine to America’s pastime. Cheer a
game or soak in its history at the former spring
training home of the Dodgers—pure magic.
Coastal Indulgence
For a luxurious retreat, head to Costa
d’Este Beach Resort, owned by Gloria
and Emilio Estefan. Or check into
Disney Vero Beach Resort, the only
oceanfront Disney property in Florida.
Culture and Gardens Galore
Don’t miss McKee Botanical Garden, a
historical gem where nature meets
nostalgia, and wrap up your day with
Broadway-worthy performances at
Riverside Theatre. Live music and comedy
on weekends? Yes, please!
Indian River County is a destination
you’ll want to keep under your hat for your
own secret getaway.
