Vero Beach - nearby antique/2nd hand shops?

[bwcb4]

We're staying at Vero Beach in November. Does anyone know of any antique/second hand/thrift stores, within an hours drive of DVB? I am looking for reasonably priced ocean related items.

THANKS for any help.

We were there a year ago. Drove around quite a bit. Did not notice any 2nd hand or resale. You might check the Yellow Pages. There was plenty of gift shopping available in town, but not inexpensive. Vero is pretty much a very high end resort area and it is not cheap.

You can try driving south towards Ft Pierce. There are some scattered shops along US1.There is also a nice place to visit in between called North Huchinson Island.There is also a small shop on US1 north of where you make the turn to cross the Orchid Island Causway.You may have better luck in the downtown Melbourne area finding bargains(north by 30-45mins) Like mikesmom said it can be hard to find bargains in VB Enjoy your stay at VB

We enjoy hitting the antique shops while down at Vero, also.

If you turn right out of the resort and take the causeway that Mike mentioned, you'll shortly come to US1.

We have returned to a shop just a short distance from there on several trips. I'm sorry I can't be positively certain, but I "believe" that you turn south towards Vero proper. It's on the right-hand side of the road (west side?) - in a stand-alone "barn-type" of building. It has numerous "booth" type areas containing different people's consigned items.

We always find some really interesting items in there.

We've driven into Sebastian, but haven't found too much in there.

They give you a book in your room that lists local points of interest - including shopping destinations. I'm pretty sure that many antique shops were listed in there.

Oh yeah - there's also a pretty neat one down across from Mr. Manatee's restaurant. A little pricey - but some neat stuff.

Have a great trip!
