Location and Access The beach is located at 4200 Ocean Drive in Vero Beach and is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Entrance is free. Parking is also free so you can guess it’s better to arrive early on busy summer days (another reason to do that is the opportunity to get one of the shaded parking spaces). In addition to the park’s parking lot, you can also find parking along Ocean Drive. Facilities Jaycee Park is a well-maintained and family-friendly recreational area equipped with all basic amenities including restrooms, outdoor showers, changing facilities, covered picnic areas with tables and grills – bring your favorite food and have lunch in the fresh air near the ocean! There is a small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating where you can eat if you arrive early enough (breakfast or lunchtime). For sports enthusiasts, there are sand volleyball courts. If you have children with you, bring them to the playground with swings and slides in the back area. The beach is ADA accessible – it features ramps instead of stairs. Beach Access The beach is quite narrow and the high tide covers a great deal of the sand area leaving not so much space for plentiful visitors in high season. Overall, the sand is clean but be aware that during the turtle-nesting season, the beach is not cleared of the seaweed so it can accumulate to a considerable amount. The water is clean and clear, blue and green in color – very inviting! For the safety of the visitors, Jaycee Park has an announcement board informing on the current water status and lifeguards on duty from 9:20 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. Other Activities There is a long oceanfront boardwalk with measured distances running from the park down the entire length of Ocean Drive, which is a perfect place to stroll, enjoy the ocean views, and watch seabirds flying by (there are plenty of pelicans). It is also good for some beachside exercise.

Location and Access South Beach Park is located at 1704 Ocean Drive in Vero Beach, Florida. It is open from sunrise to sundown. Entrance and parking are free. The parking limit is 3 or 4 hours – after that, you need to move your vehicle and find another spot. On weekdays, parking feels adequate, on weekends, it can get a bit difficult. Amenities The beach is equipped with clean restroom facilities and outdoor showers. The facilities are in good condition, probably just in need of a little facelift. There are picnic pavilions and drink vending machines. Note that the beach has no food concessions and there are no stores or restaurants around so bring everything you may need with you. Beach Area The beach is big, clean, and absolutely lovely – with beautiful views and a relaxing, laid-back atmosphere. The water is clear and good for swimming. Depending on the weather, there may be seaweed washed up on the shore. There are umbrella and chair rentals on-site but the prices are not very friendly. Lifeguards are on duty from 9:20 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. They are very helpful guys, so feel free to consult them about any matters. Lovely Ambiance This beach is a nice place for birthday parties and weddings – it is well-maintained and offers good ocean views. Unhurried strolls along this serene and tranquil shore on a quiet day will bring you calm and joy – watch pelicans flying over and diving for fish or stay until night to see a bright sunset. Other Activities For sports enthusiasts, there are sand volleyball nets. Fishing is allowed in a dedicated area adjacent to the guarded area. The sand has plenty of shells so shelling is also popular on the beach.
