I'm up in the air about a few things. I would like to go away with my husband sometime next year. What I really want to know is:
1. What else is there to do in Vero Beach other than stay on the resort (night life etc)?
2. The same for Hilton Head. (Even though we don't golf)
We like to do different things at night and I just don't want to be stuck with the same old thing every night. We like to relax at night and then do different things at night. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?????
Damn... I almost missed your post... sounds like we share the likes... In Vero Beach the Green Cabin room may be just what you are looking for in that late evening. Also, for day trips... I really love the McKee Gardens (see below). Here is my cut and paste take on VB things to do...
They have a nice Mickey shaped pool &
Lighthouse spiral waterslide, a REALLY cool water deck area for the real young kids, a hot Jacuzzi, miniature golf, exercise room, ping pong, bike rentals, The Green Cabin Room (bar/restaurant) has 2nd floor covered deck that has a fantastic view of the
ocean and is a nice place to relax with your favorite beverage. It also has live entertainment in the evenings. At night they have a campfire / s’more roast (bring the Cutter Advanced to fend off the No-see-ums). You can rent a small catamaran or jet-ski for
ocean fun. Across the street they have a lake, picnic tables, the jungle nature trail (hike/bike) that goes 8 miles to Pelican Island, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Disney built a private tunnel under the road to access this area. And of course they have the ocean and great waves for boogy boarding. Everything from the ocean to the pool to your room is no more than 2 minutes away walking. So it is real easy to break up your day
5 minutes away is
Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge and a wildlife education center. Just a few minutes further up the road is
Sebastian Inlet State Park were the Indian River meets the ocean. There are many good fishing spots around the inlet, and there are river excursions where you can see dolphins, manatee, and tons of other types of wildlife. About an hour north is
Port Canaveral, (where the Magic and Wonder dock), the
Kennedy Space Center visitor complex, and
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge with walking and driving tours. 20 minutes south is
McKee Botanical Garden (18 acres) with some REALLY cool vegetation and trees. 30 minutes south in Fort Piece is the
Manatee Observation and Education Center.
You're gonna have fun
