Round Island Beach Park is an oceanfront public park on North Hutchinson Island in Vero Beach that combines beach access, family amenities, and preserved World War II history. The park offers direct access to the Atlantic Ocean with lifeguards on duty, free parking, outdoor showers, and restrooms. Visitors will find picnic pavilions with grills, open green space, and a playground, making it well-suited for both short visits and extended beach days.
Interpretive signage and visible concrete tank traps document the park’s role in World War II amphibious training connected to the former Fort Pierce Amphibious Training Base. These historic features remain integrated into the park landscape, providing educational context alongside recreational use. The beach is regularly maintained and includes designated protected areas for sea turtle nesting.
Round Island Beach Park provides a quieter alternative to more developed beaches while remaining easily accessible from A1A. Its combination of ocean views, amenities, and historical significance makes it a notable coastal park in Indian River County.
