Beach Parking Guide for the Treasure Coast
Beach parking on the Treasure Coast is easier than in many Florida beach towns, but it is not the same everywhere. In Martin, St. Lucie, and much of Indian River County, the pattern is straightforward: park at a public beach park, walk over the dune crossover, and head to the sand. The main exception is central Vero Beach, where beachside parking has long been managed with time limits and active enforcement near Ocean Drive and Humiston-area public spaces.
