Vero Beach Florida

Vero Beach Florida invites you to come for sun and sand and while here, maybe pick up a few gold coins or silver jewelry worth thousands of dollars.

Vero Beach is the heart of the Florida Treasure Coast so keep your eyes on the sand as you traipse along.

Why? In the 17th century, some Spanish galleon ships went down in a storm off the Vero Beach shore and stayed on the ocean floor for a couple hundred years.

No one knew the location of these shipwrecks until gold and silver began appearing on the beach. After all those years, the wooden ships had begun to disintegrate and had started releasing their riches.

Gold, silver, jewelry or some wonderful antique treasure will occasionally become dislodged from its hiding place and hitch a ride to the shore on the back of a wave.

No telling how many exciting artifacts are out in the ocean, buried in sand, lodged under or behind coral or in underwater plant-life that might get untangled and show up on the beach as you are walking by.

Have you ever dreamed of winning the lottery or finding a diamond or an emerald that you can keep? Finders Keepers!

Some folks think Vero Beach Florida, the beach, the water and the sun are treasures and don’t feel they go home empty-handed if they don’t pick up a bauble or two.

Home to Dodgertown Stadium, this city and its beaches have so much appeal. Although Dodgertown currently is only home to the minor leagues, it’s still a popular tourist attraction.

Surfing is great on Vero Beach Florida. Also, try wave boarding on some of Indian County’s best waves on the lower end of Vero’s South Beach shore or play some beach volleyball. Or do what I do and relax on a serene beach and dream of living here. Be sure to come with boogie boards for the kids.
