Indian River citrus began in 1807, and rapidly became the most important agricultural product in our area. While our local fruit, especially grapefruit, is popular in many countries, our leading importer is Japan – Indian River grapefruit accounts for over 95 percent of all of the Florida fruit shipped there.

Imagine one whole day to yourself at the luxurious Vero Beach Hotel & Spa – what would you do? The oceanfront pool is a perfect spot for relaxing in the sun, enjoying a favorite cocktail (brought by a cabana valet, of course). A stroll on the beach is a must!. In the evening, an extraordinary dinner awaits at Cobalt, the resort’s chef-inspired restaurant and lounge. Then sleep like royalty in one of the 113 spacious and elegantly appointed guestrooms. What could be better? Everything you need can be found right here in Vero Beach. Photography By Denise Ritchie

Farewell intemperate weather, hello Vero Beach! Following ancient migration patterns, we travel to the sunny beaches and tropical, vine-strewn landscape that is home in the winter. No ice, no grey days, nor bitter chill – instead a bright, warm sanctuary to luxuriate through the area’s best time of year. produced & photographed by jill douglas
