While many visitors to Florida often choose the more well-known cities or towns to spend their vacation days in, we have another option. The smaller beach towns in Florida tend to be overlooked, mainly because visitors don’t even know they exist! But straying from the Panama City beaches or the neon lights of Ocean Drive can become rewarding to those who prefer a new adventure. Ready to find the beach town of your dreams?
The town of Vero Beach, Florida is the type of dreamy vacation getaway that you spend the rest of the year pining for.
With a population of less than 20,000, you’ll get the community involvement that makes a town so welcoming, but also the peace of not being overcrowded.
…Vero Beach has a lot of history, too, as the town was named after the Spanish fleets that sank near the beach town in the 1700s, which is why you’ll see beach goers with metal detectors combing the beach after a big storm.
