The Vero Beach Municipal Airport may be small, but it's special. It beat out more than 80 other Florida aviation facilities to be named the General Aviation Airport of the Year for 1995. Approximately 250 planes, include a fleet of 100 used for pilot training, are based here (Sebastian maintains a small municipal airport restricted to use by light private aircraft). A commuter plane charters flights to Key West and other popular Florida destinations. International airports are about an hour-and-a-half to two hours away in various directions: Orlando is to the northwest, Daytona Beach is to the north, Palm Beach to the South. Closer, the Melbourne International Airport is only 30 minutes north via
No deep-water ports exist in the county, but they are available in St. Lucie County, 14 miles to the South or in Port Canaveral, about 65 miles north in neighboring Brevard County. Freight comes by truck or by Florida East Coast Railway.
Interstate 95 runs north and south through the county. State Road 60 links Vero Beach to 1-95. Route 512 travels through pasturelands and citrus groves on its way from 1-95 into Sebastian in north Indian River County. Along the coast, U.S. Highway I runs north and south between the cities. The Florida Turnpike, which moves toll-paying traffic efficiently from Interstate 75 in mid-Florida through Orlando and on to Miami, is also accessible not far to the west of Vero Beach.
Public transportation is provided by The Community Coach offering an excellent route with many stops between shopping hubs and key locations in both the South and North county areas.
