Vero Beach has won acclaim from Rating Guide to Cities as the best small town in Florida, and also as one of the 100 best art towns in the United States. The Center for the Arts, Florida’s largest art museum/teaching facility, the Vero Beach Museum of Art, and Riverside Theatre, the only professional Equity theater on the Treasure Coast, are all located in Vero Beach.

Vero Beach is also home to the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the first federal bird reservation in the United States, dedicated to the protection and preservation of the uniquely charming birds. Another natural attraction is the Environmental Learning Center, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to educating both kids and adults about the natural environment.
