One of our favorites is Vero Beach.
Easy drive on Turnpike. About 2+1/2 hour drive.
Used to stay at Holiday Inn Oceanside in VB.....but.....
...........since Gloria Estefan has the "Costa d'Este" Hotel...
...it is our go to place........try an Oceanfront with a balcony.
You can also arrange some snorkeling...just ask at the concierge desk.
There are some coral reefs (near shore) just south of hotel.

We like Mulligans and/or Ocean Grille for eats.
(Both are between Holiday Inn and Costa d'Este Hotels.)
Mulligans is fun...also can eat outside if you like.
Ocean Grille has a view of water also. No outdoor seating.
Be sure to have your "must have" list ready.....
..Vero Beach is a good place for some "Retail Therapy".
You can beach it...have some eats...do some snorkeling...
...get a "retail therapy" session...hit the spa...
........AND......never get in your car.
