Best Beaches in Florida

Pick a Beach

Couples will be amazed by the number of discoverable beaches the area offers. Choose among more than ten – the intimate, eco-friendly, and active; surf, volleyball, or turtle watching. Just steps away from Ocean Drive is a fascinating experience for divers and snorkelers alike. For decades, curious travelers have been exploring the wreckage of the sunken treasure ship, the SS Breconshire, which is an historic underwater monument.  Or frolic with the manatees frequently spotted playing at Round Island Beach. Treasure Shores is the perfect choice for a secluded beach to steal-away private moments and togethering. Those looking for an eco-minded adventure will want to visit Ambersands Beach. It resides within the 284-acre Archie Care National Wildlife Refuge, which spans 20.5 miles and is one of the most critically important sea turtle nesting spots for sea turtles. Sign up for day and nighttime turtle tours, as the county is a prolific turtle nesting area.

Hand holding Walks

Imagine a mini-national park leading straight to the Indian River Lagoon, complete with a park bench resting on the shore ⏤ the perfect place to steal a kiss! The Lagoon Greenway encompasses 187-acres, with more than three miles of hiking trails. The Main Trail is a half-mile to the lagoon’s beaches with a walkable boardwalk, and a secluded park bench. The Mini Adventure Trail is a quarter-mile and more rugged. Couples will want to be mindful of exposed tree roots and low hanging branches as the narrow trail leads to the heart of the hammock forest. This trail surrounds couples with a peaceful state-of-mind.

Foodie's Escape in Indian River County

Farm-to-Table

Foodies may want to enjoy a farm-to-table feast during the months of January, February, and March at Schacht Groves, a local mainstay since the 1950’s. Couples will appreciate an evening under the stars in the lush orange groves. It all starts with wine and tapas, then the party moves to a rustic, outdoor pavilion dating back to the 1940’s. Local chefs preside over the evening and present the main fare. Later guests gather by the bonfire, settling in to listen to live music and sip after dinner cocktails. The evening makes for an evening to remember.Tickets sells fast, so call or visit the farm store to reserve your spots.

Take Your Love to New Heights

Get your engines running as you taxi down the runway in a Cessna 206 amphibious seaplane. Soar to new heights, up to 3,300 feet, with gorgeous overlooks of the aquamarine waters of the Vero Beach coastline, the turquoise waters of Indian River Lagoon, and then hold on tight as the Cessna gracefully lands on Blue Cypress Lake. Take in the breathtaking views of this 5,500- acre lake while standing on the plane’s pontoons – the perfect place to pop the question, steal a kiss, and breathe in the beauty that surrounds you both. A memorable couple’s occasion you can count on.

Nature at it's Best in Indian River CountyA Sky Full of Stars

Thanks to zoning restrictions preventing buildings more than four stories tall, Vero Beach takes pride in its motto “sunrises not high-rises.” This is a rare occurrence in today’s Florida, as many beaches are brightly lit by skyscraping condos, high-rise hotels, and sprawling resort properties. Stargazers know the secret for spotting planets, constellations, and meteor showers is a dark sky. Imagine a sky full of brilliant stars while white sand crunches beneath your feet and the rhythmic sound of waves relaxes as the two of you meander down the beach. A starry-eyed evening you won’t soon forget. Tip: The Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel offers star-gazing parties in collaboration with Treasure Coast Astronomical Society.
