Indian River County

Florida's Central Region

Ringed by citrus groves, cattle ranches and the Atlantic Ocean, Indian River County has a friendly, unpretentious atmosphere. Centrally located 70 miles south of the Kennedy Space Center and 135 miles north of Miami, our 543 square miles contain beautiful white sandy beaches, groves of renowned Indian River oranges and grapefruit, immaculate oceanfront estates and riverfront communities.

Our unique setting makes Indian River County the perfect destination for thousands of visitors and seasonal guests each year. We enjoy a climate moderated by the warm tropical waters of the Gulf Stream. Our balmy winters combine with the summer’s fresh ocean breezes to keep our average temperature a delicious 74 degrees, perfect for swimming, golf or tennis year round.

Free from urban sprawl and congestion, our 26 miles of unspoiled beaches, serene waterscapes of the Sebastian and Indian Rivers, and miles of pristine woodlands and fields provide an endless array of recreational and eco friendly adventures for you and your family. Add our museums, theatres, restaurants, night spots and shopping and you have a perfect location for an incomparable vacation.

The Indian River Lagoon is one of the most environmentally diverse estuaries in the nation. Exploring by kayak or canoe allows up-close views of the magnificent wildlife. The Sebastian River is another favored destination, with miles of lush jungle waterways.

Whether you’re looking for a quiet stretch of sand along the Atlantic, a place to launch a canoe or kayak, or a full-service recreation area with picnic facilities, rest rooms and showers....you’ll find the Indian River County public park that’s right for you.
