In the Central Beach area, there are 3 places to publicly access the beach from Ocean Drive in addition to the main public beach access parks. These 3 places are:
We mention these because they are 3 great places to access a little quieter stretch of beach, a great resource for locals in the area as well as visitors strolling along Ocean Drive. Flamevine and Gayfeather have No Parking – they’re just for people walking up to the beach. Riomar has a small parking lot for 6 cars. The Riomar access takes you to a quieter beach where you can take a beautiful walk along the beach to South Beach Park and back. It’s a quiet, unspoiled stretch with a small reef offshore, and you can feel like you’re a million miles away and have the beach to yourself, while you’re still in the heart of Vero.
Refer to the map to see where Gayfeather Lane is. Flamevine is just north, and Riomar is 1/4 mile south.
