A relaxed, uncrowded Treasure Coast beach.
Vero Beach is in Indian River County, Florida, on the Atlantic coast.
Indian River County's Vero Beach is roughly fifty miles from each of the two nearest beaches Coasti tracks, Cocoa Beach to the north and Jupiter Beach to the south. Parking is free in the beach's public lots. Lifeguards cover the sand seasonally, with restrooms at the main accesses. The Treasure Coast name comes from the Spanish treasure fleet that wrecked along this shore in 1715, and coins still turn up after storms.

Weather and marine forecasts come from the National Weather Service at Vero Beach Municipal (KVRB).
Red tide readings come from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission monitoring map.
Indian River County's Atlantic coast sits mostly outside red tide's usual range, since Karenia brevis blooms build overwhelmingly on the Gulf side of Florida. Vero Beach still falls within FWC's statewide monitoring map. See today's statewide red tide status.
That depends on the flag and the surf, and both change through the day. Coasti shows the posted lifeguard flag when a current one exists, and estimates from surf, wind and rip-current risk when it does not. Today's answer for Vero Beach loads at the top of this page.
