I’ve been a resident of Indian River County for almost 8 years now, and this was my first time out on a boat in the Indian River Lagoon. I’ve always admired the views from the bridges and docks, but never from a boat, so I was really looking forward to this experience and a chance to view the river from a pontoon boat. We made arrangements with Vero Tackle & Watersports to take us out for a cruise to check out a few of the local Vero restaurants you can boat to. They offer bait & tackle, boat tours, fishing charters, boat rentals, paddle sports, and more!

Great to know of these dock friendly restaurants.
Would be interesting if you would review the local Chinese food scene in Vero Beach. I personally have found zero Chinese food worthy of a second visit. I have sampled Chinese from Jupiter to Melbourne. I don’t know what has happened, there has to be a hidden treasure somewhere on the treasure coast that makes shrimp and lobster sauce that isn’t egg drop soup with a few shrimps floating in it.
Thanks for your comment! Problem with Chinese food in Vero, there isn’t any. The only ones I’m award of are the To-Go places.
