Confirmed from Humiston Beach Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Humiston Beach Park
“Ocean views, tons of palm trees, clean grass, and plenty of shade so you’re not getting cooked by the Florida sun.”
“A beautiful park with a nice size playground right next to the beach.”
“A large pop-up canopy gave a nice chunk of shade for beach chairs while not in the water and for personal items and cooler.”
While visiting friends in FL, we planned a beach day, and this is their favorite location. And if you're in the area after beach time, stop at elsids Taco's place down the road. Delicious! We got to the beach about 930ish am and set up.
This is a beautiful place. The area is under construction but you can still walk right onto the beach. The boardwalk has been taken down, as shown in the pictures. Still a beautiful place to go. Lifeguards are still there, just not in the little lifeguard hut that was part of the boardwalk.
We went to the Saturday farmers market and of course we had to see the beach. Stick our feet in. Eat our food. Enjoy the beautiful Ocrober weather.. Always a good day in Vero Beach. Food was amazing, the water has eroded the beach from the storm that came bye. Nothing new... used to ride my bike here growing up...
Lovely beach in Vero with a nice park and not too crowded. Boardwalk and restaurants are easily accessible and close by.
