Instead of just visiting Vero Beach, families can leave it better than they found it in an engaging way while also learning about one of the state’s most important coastal habitats. Lucky travelers might even make a new sea turtle friend along the way.
The new Conservation Concierge program allows guests to spend time with local conservation specialist and executive director of Coastal Connections Kendra Bergman during hands-on experiences — going beyond a traditional beach vacation. Families can participate in activities directly supporting the ecosystem. Highlights include Daytime Turtle Digs, beach cleanups, Turtle Talks, and fishing-line sorting and friendship bracelets.

Additionally, Vero Beach is easier than ever to get to thanks to new routes from JetBlue and American Airlines. Direct flight routes include Philadelphia (PHL); New York City (JFK); Boston (BOS); Charlotte (CLT); Washington, D.C. (IAD); Providence (PVD); White Plains (HPN); Long Island (ISP); New Haven (HVN); Pittsburgh (PIT); and Raleigh-Durham (RDU).
