Barber Bridge (Hwy 60) Vero Beach

The Barber Bridge provides access from the mainland Vero Beach with the barrier island portion of Vero Beach and is an extension of Highway 60. Highway 60 begins at the Atlantic Ocean in Vero Beach and travels to the west coast through downtown Tampa to the Gulf of Mexico.The bridge was designed to allow sailboats to pass under without the drawbridge you typically find in South Florida. The drawbridge delays traffic for boaters as well as rush hour travellers in South Florida. The traffic in Vero Beach moves smoothly and quickly with the design of our high bridges. Vero Beach has three similar bridges linking the mainland and the barrier island. The 17th Street/Causeway Bridge is a mile south of the Barber Bridge, and the Hwy 510 Bridge is located closer to Sebastian and links to the north end of Vero Beach near the Disney Vero Beach Oceanfront Resort on A1A.

Beaches of Vero Beach

Wide beaches of white sand, sea grapes growing at the upper beach ...this is what Vero Beach is about. No tall high-rise condos clutter the skyline, low profile buildings and ample green spaces of lush tropical vegetation exemplify Vero Beach. As you drive down A1A, the beach highway, you will often only see lush landscaping on the side of the road and only a glimpse of homes through the Bougainvillea and Hibiscus. Many oceanfront communities have their own private beach access for residents. Several public beaches serve area residents. Request information about Beaches of Vero Beach.
