Tracking Station Beach

Tucked away invisibly from Highway A1A behind a CVS and 7-Eleven, Tracking Station Beachfront Park is a cherished local hidden gem that offers a quiet, uncrowded alternative to busier public shores in Vero Beach. This pristine stretch of coast is highly favored by local surfers for its excellent breaks, while other visitors enjoy taking endless, scenic walks along the expansive, shell-filled shoreline. Beachgoers can enjoy a comfortable day by the water thanks to a great mix of amenities, including free paved parking, clean restrooms, outdoor showers, covered picnic pavilions, and daily lifeguard services. To protect the local ecosystem and ensure a peaceful environment for everyone, dogs are strictly prohibited on the sand, and visitors must stay off the fragile sand dunes and marked sea turtle nests. Finally, swimmers and surfers should remain alert for strong Atlantic rip currents and watch their step near the water, where old, rusted intake pipes from a former marine laboratory can occasionally become exposed in the sand.
