Vero Beach Recognized Among Florida’s Top 15 Most Beautiful Beaches
Vero Beach continues to cement its reputation as a premier destination for natural beauty and serene coastal living. In a recent travel feature titled “These 15 Florida Beaches Are Too Beautiful to Skip on Your Next Getaway,” Veranda magazine—prominently featured on Yahoo Life—selected Vero Beach as one of the Sunshine State’s must-visit shorelines.
The article, which curated a list of the state’s most stunning coastal spots ranging from the Florida Panhandle to the Keys, highlighted Vero Beach for its unique balance of small-town charm and expansive natural landscapes. While many Florida destinations are known for high-rise condos and bustling crowds, Vero Beach stood out to the editors for its preservation efforts and “Treasure Coast” allure.
According to the feature, Vero Beach is celebrated for its lack of development on the oceanfront and its access to nature. The publication specifically noted:
“Known for its pristine beaches and untouched nature preserves (like Sebastian Inlet State Park, pictured), there’s good reason that Vero Beach’s 26 miles of shoreline is known as the ‘Treasure’ Coast along the Atlantic Ocean. Near those shores you’ll find a charming small town and the beautiful McKee Botanical Garden too.”
In Good Company
The inclusion of Vero Beach places our local community alongside some of the most famous and heavily visited beaches in the world. Other destinations making the exclusive list included:
High Praise for Local Landmarks
It is significant that the feature singled out two major local assets: Sebastian Inlet State Park and McKee Botanical Garden.
Sebastian Inlet is a staple for surfers, anglers, and nature enthusiasts, offering a rugged, natural beauty that contrasts with the manicured beaches found elsewhere in the state. Meanwhile, the mention of McKee Botanical Garden highlights that Vero Beach offers cultural and ecological depth beyond just sunbathing.
For residents, this national recognition serves as a reminder of what makes Indian River County special: 26 miles of uncrowded shoreline, a commitment to preserving nature, and a community that values low-density living over the high-rises found in neighboring counties. Whether you are a long-time local or a potential visitor, the secret of the Treasure Coast seems to be officially out.
