The Unhurried LONG WEEKEND From pristine beaches and the Indian River Lagoon to charming towns, abundant wildlife and authentic Old

Indian River County, Florida

Florida charm, this destination is made for slowing down and soaking it all in. Use this four-day itinerary as your guide, or create your own, but leave room to linger, take the scenic route and discover a few local gems along the way.

@ircrec

DAY 1: Arrive, Unwind & Settle In

@citrusgrillhouse

@righteousscenes

Check in and ease into your getaway. Once you've settled into your accommodations, take a leisurely stroll along Ocean Drive and explore the shops, galleries and beachside charm of Vero Beach. Want to get out on the water? If your arrival lines up with a tour, swap the stroll for a sunset or stargazing boat tour on the Indian River Lagoon. Sit back, take in the scenery and watch as the lagoon takes on a whole new feel after dark. End your first night with dinner at Citrus Grillhouse. Settle in for an oceanfront meal and let the sound of the waves officially kick off your getaway.

DAY 2:

Wild & Old Florida

@pelicanislandaudubon_society

@floridacrackerairboatrides

Start early with an airboat adventure in Fellsmere. Glide through the wetlands of the Blue Cypress area and experience a wilder side of Indian River County. Keep your eyes open for alligators, wading birds and other native wildlife as you explore the marshes. Airboat tours typically last around an hour, making this an exciting way to start the day without taking over your entire morning. Slow down with a late breakfast at C.J. Cannon's. After your airboat ride, settle in for a relaxed meal at this longtime Vero Beach establishment, where you can enjoy breakfast while watching planes take off and land at the airport. Take the scenic route along the Historic Jungle Trail. Later, head back toward the coast and wind your way along this nearly eight-mile historic road. Beneath the canopy of live oaks and alongside the Indian River Lagoon, the drive feels like a glimpse into Old Florida.

@floridacrackerairboatrides

@c.j.cannons

Explore Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. Take your time on the trails and boardwalks, looking for pelicans, ospreys, egrets and other wildlife in the protected coastal habitat. The refuge's trails offer easy walks, so there's no need to turn the afternoon into a hike. Choose your evening. Keep dinner casual at Tradewinds 41 or stop by Kilted Mermaid for a drink and a bite.

DAY 3: @verobeachmuseumofart

Gardens, Art & Life on the Lagoon Sleep in and ease into the morning. When you're ready, start your day with a visit to McKee Botanical Garden. Wander through the tropical landscape, past waterlilies, towering palms, winding paths and historic structures. The 18-acre garden is a beautiful way to spend a leisurely morning surrounded by nature.

@ellie.kamaris

@riversidetheatrefl

Spend the afternoon at the Vero Beach Museum of Art. Take your time exploring the galleries, then enjoy a stroll around Riverside Park and the surrounding area. Or, make the lagoon your afternoon adventure. If you'd rather spend more time outdoors, swap the museum for a kayak, paddleboard, jet ski or guided boat tour on the Indian River Lagoon. Guided eco-tours offer opportunities to look for dolphins, manatees and the many birds that inhabit the lagoon.

@paddlesbythesea

@whitetreeofblues

End the day at Hogan Yards. Grab dinner, a drink or something sweet and enjoy the lively atmosphere of this local gathering place. If you choose the lagoon adventure instead of the museum, you can always save the museum for a rainy-day stop or another trip.

Look for shells, take a few photos and enjoy one last quiet moment by the water. After checking out, head north to McLarty Treasure Museum. Spend a little time uncovering the story of the 1715 Spanish Fleet and seeing genuine artifacts recovered from the shipwrecks that gave Florida's Treasure Coast its name.

Loggerhead and green sea turtles are the most common visitors, and their nesting activity plays a vital role in keeping our coastal ecosystem thriving.

Every summer, the nonprofit Coastal Connections offers guided, permitted Turtle Walks at night and Turtle Digs during the day, giving you a rare chance to witness these ancient mariners up close. Along the way, you’ll discover how sea turtles protect our oceans, why their survival is so critical, and simple ways you can help them move off the endangered species list. For dates and details, visit their website or follow them on social media. www.Coastal-Connections.org

Sustainable Travel in Indian River County Protecting our natural beauty, especially our sea turtle nesting beaches, depends on all of us. When you visit, you’ll find easy and meaningful ways to help keep Indian River County pristine for generations to come. Here are a few ways you can join in:

Beach Baskets Look for free Beach Baskets at many of our public beach access points. Pick one up while enjoying the sun and sand, collect any debris you see, and help leave the beach even cleaner than you found it.

Coastal Cleanups

@jenna_keepslookingup

@must_be_a_mermaidd

Want to make an even bigger impact? Join a Coastal Cleanup during your visit! These events bring the community together to remove debris from beaches, lagoon-front parks, and walkways. It’s a hands-on way to give back to the place you came to enjoy.

Fishing Line Recycling Anglers can help protect sea turtles, manatees, and other wildlife by using the colorful monofilament recycling tubes located at beach accesses, piers, jetties, and boat ramps. Place used fishing line and tackle inside so it can be safely recycled and kept out of the water.

Wrap Recycling @coastalconnections_inc

@coastalconnections_inc

Keep your sustainability efforts going beyond the beach by recycling plastic bags and wraps through local WRAP (Wrap Recycling Action Program) collection sites. Look for the Vero Goes Zero sticker at participating businesses, and while you’re there, shop local and support the businesses helping keep these materials out of our waterways and oceans. Find a full list of participating locations on the Coastal Connections website.
