The city is divided by the India River into the mainland on one side and the oceanfront barrier island on the other. Homeowners include wealthy vacationers and affluent year-round residents. The lack of high-rises, thanks to restrictive building codes, helps provide a peaceful atmosphere. There are two bridges that connect Vero Beach's mainland to its unattached beachside property: the 17th Street Bridge and the Merrill P. Barber Bridge.
Vero Beach is known for its outstanding beaches. Part of Florida's Treasure Coast, the beaches combine excellent sand quality with significant surf and tidal action. Vero's main public beach is known as South Beach, accessible at the eastern end of Causeway Boulevard. .
Vero Beach caters to retirees and beach-going tourists. It is also home to general aviation manufacturer New Piper Aircraft, which is the largest private employer in Indian River County. Many
smaller shops and stores, including service related fields, are spread across Vero Beach and Indian River County - more than 6,000 businesses in Vero Beach alone!
Vero Beach may be best known as the location of Dodgertown , where the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team have held their spring training camp since 1948, and where the minor league Vero Beach Devil Rays play during their regular season.
