While visiting Vero Beach, we had a few days where it was just way too windy to walk on the beach. What a great find this park was. They have a wonderful 1 mile walking trail (in one direction), so 2 miles round trip. Well maintained and well used.

The boat ride with Captain Phil and the reserve nature guide is the best way to see America’s first Nature Preserve. The native brown pelicans are abundant after being nearly wiped out by DDT. We saw nesting brown pelicans, migrating white pelicans, many types of herons, egrets, cormorants and anhingas.

Few would expect that small, quiet Vero Beach would also be home to a world class museum. An impressive permanent collection which is rotated in galleries, rotundas and hallways is bolstered by a variety of visiting exhibitions. Truly family centered with activity offerings foe all ages and interests. Not to be missed!
