Royal Park · Vero Beach
First over the bridge.
The Oaks is the first private property on the mainland side of the causeway from the beach. I walk it most mornings — three minutes to the sand, sometimes the puppy, sometimes not.
Three minutes
To the sand on foot. The bridge is the Audubon side; herons more often than not.
The grocer
Two grocery stores a block away. I keep my mornings on foot.
Miracle Mile
In walking range. On foot, before noon, when the heat is still kind.
Audubon
Royal Park is Audubon-designated — herons, palms, oaks, gardens kept quiet on purpose.
