Points of Interest:
Vero Beach is known for its outstanding beaches. Part of Florida's Treasure
Coast, it is situated north of South Florida's Gold Coast and just south of
Sebastian Inlet, the Surf Capital of the East Coast. Vero's beaches combine
excellent sand quality with significant surf and tidal action, appealing to
beach strollers, surfers, and boogie-boarders alike. Vero's main public beach is
known as South Beach, accessible at the Eastern End of Causeway Boulevard. Vero
also features Humiston Park and Jaycee Beach as its other primary public
beaches.
The
Driftwood Inn, located in Vero's central beach business district, is a
historic hotel constructed in the early 20th Century by the late local eccentric
and explorer Waldo Sexton. Originally built entirely from pieces of driftwood
and other antiques, it is a popular tourist destination.
The city includes several
parks, most notably Riverside Park, which is the location of Riverside Theater
and the Vero Beach Museum of Art
[1]. Other points of interest include the
Vero
Theatre and the
McKee Botanical Garden. Actor

Root graduated from

general aviation manufacturer New Piper Aircraft
[2], which is the largest private employer in Indian River County.
