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 communities 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.
