Perfect Weekend in Vero Beach | Things to Do, Eat & See | Boating Journey
Spend a relaxing and sun-soaked weekend in Vero Beach—one of Florida’s most charming coastal escapes! In this video, we explore the perfect mix of art, nature, beachside luxury, and incredible local dining that makes this hidden gem such a special destination.
Our weekend kicks off with a visit to the Vero Beach Museum of Art, where inspiring exhibits and sculptures set the tone for a culture-filled getaway. From there, we wander through the lush, tropical beauty of McKee Botanical Garden—a peaceful oasis filled with winding paths, water features, and vibrant plant life.
For our home base, we check into the iconic Costa d’Este Beach Resort & Spa, a stunning beachfront hotel known for its upscale vibe and oceanfront views. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or enjoying a cocktail by the beach, it’s the perfect place to unwind.
Of course, no weekend in Vero Beach is complete without great food! We stop by Waldo’s Restaurant for classic oceanfront dining with a laid-back atmosphere, and Mulligan’s Beach House for casual bites right on the water. For breakfast and brunch lovers, The Lemon Tree is a must-visit local favorite. We also enjoy waterfront dining at The Wave Kitchen & Bar and Cobalt, both offering delicious meals with unbeatable views. And for something sweet (or a quick treat), we make a stop at Cravings.
From sunrise walks on the beach to unforgettable meals and scenic spots, this weekend getaway to Vero Beach is all about slowing down and soaking it all in. If you’re looking for a laid-back Florida destination that blends relaxation with a touch of luxury, this is it!
