Vero Beach, Florida

Indian River County · 344 restaurants

Vero Beach's Ocean Drive, on the barrier island across the Indian River from downtown, is the heart of its dining scene — a walkable strip of seafood houses and cafes serving a well-heeled seasonal population drawn by the city's beaches and the Vero Beach Museum of Art. Downtown's 14th Avenue has its own smaller cluster of restaurants tied to Indian River County's citrus heritage, still visible in the packing houses that once made this stretch of coast famous for its oranges. With 335 restaurants split between island tourists and mainland locals, Vero Beach draws heavily on a snowbird population from the Northeast and Midwest each winter.
