Vero Beach offers roughly 3 miles of surfable beach break with the Vero Beach Pier as the focal point. The pier creates quality sandbars on both sides, making it one of the better high-tide options on the Treasure Coast. Lacks the power of Sebastian Inlet 12 miles north, but free parking, forgiving waves, and easy access make it a solid everyday option.
