Vero Beach Construction

[Pluto's Pal2]

Hi. I just found out that there will be a critical beach re-nourishment project going on during our upcoming trip to Vero Beach 3/31 to 4/4. And access to the beach areas on weekdays will be restricted. Does anyone have any info on this? thank you!

Hi! Sorry for the delay; just saw this post.

I have no info on the present project, but we were at Vero once before during a beach replenishment project. The beach area was closed, and for good reason... there were huge dump trucks driving along the beach bringing in sand, and a bulldozer was spreading it. It was definitely not a safe place to be during the construction, but the end result was well worth it. The beach was definitely wider, and the dunes had been restored - vital to protecting the property.

The bright side is that the ocean temp is still going to be on the cold side when you're there - low 60's. Present water temp a bit farther north is 57. (Florida had a record cold winter this year, and ocean temps dropped appreciably.) By contrast, the great heated pool at VB should be in the low 80's.

:cool:

We arrived at Vero on March 30th and the beach at the resort was finished. Had a wonderful stay.:party:
