Royal Palm Pointe Park is a picturesque outdoor area providing excellent views of the Indian River. Kids rush back and forth through the fountains, while fishing enthusiasts relax by the water in this eclectic hub at the heart of Vero Beach’s community. Stroll along the banks of the river and appreciate the spectacular vistas of central Florida.
Bring food and drink to enjoy a picnic in the shade of one of the many swaying palm trees that line the shore. The park is also filled with colorful floral displays and shrubs dotted along Indian River Boulevard. Stop for snacks and drinks at one of the designated picnic tables and watch people go by in this popular riverside park. Joggers and dog walkers flock to these tranquil green grounds on sunny days.
Let your little ones stay cool while running between the jets of the interactive fountain. Stroll south along the boardwalk and stop at the various galleries and upscale boutiques.
As the sun drops beyond the horizon, appreciate the changing hues of the sky from the terrace of The Quail Valley at the Pointe restaurant. Enjoy drinks and have a meal at this upscale establishment.
Purchase a ticket for admission to the park. The pretty green space opens Wednesday through Monday from morning until evening in summer. In winter, the site also closes on Mondays.
Royal Palm Pointe Park borders the western edge of the Indian River, a little east of central Vero Beach. Rent a car and drive east from the heart of the city for less than 10 minutes to get here. Leave your car in one of the parking spaces just outside the park. While you’re here, stop at other surrounding highlights such as Vero Beach Dog Park, the Vero Beach Museum of Art and Sexton Plaza Beach.
