Vero Beach

Vero Beach

Vero Beach is located in southeast Florida. It lies on an area called “Treasure Coast,” owing its name from the treasures discovered there from several shipwrecks. It is the perfect family-fun destination, with beautiful beaches, surfing locations, coral reefs, and revived downtowns. It is especially popular because it houses Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, an idyllic beach holiday destination anchored by a grand Inn and flanked by clusters of villas. Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is an upscale hotel that is part of Disney’s timeshare Vacation Club. More information can be found at floridacoastresorts.com.

Disney’s Vero Beach is about 2 hours drive southeast from Orlando, Florida, and about 3 hours drive north from Miami. Melbourne is the nearest airport and there is an airport shuttle that serves the property. Disney’s Vero Beach is undoubtedly a great destination for families. Besides the beautiful beach (other details in floridacoastresorts.com), you and your family can also enjoy Disney character breakfasts, campfires and sing-alongs, bike rentals, kayaks and boogie boards rentals, crafts like animation cel painting, or play miniature golf. You can also go stargazing by telescope; rent chairs and umbrellas to sit near the beach; check out the Disney Discovery Club children’s activity center, the Florida Treasure Museum, and the Space Coast and the Kennedy Space Center; or even get the chance to see sea turtle nests, although this last one is seasonal. For adult and teens, there are several activities that you can check upon check-in, like special classes and events. There is the nearby Indian River Mall for your shopping delight (it features a 24-screen movie theatre); the mall offers beachside specialty boutiques and the Vero Fashion Outlets at Vero Beach, which houses more than 75 designer outlet stores.
