We love Round Island! The walkway around the island is perfect for strolling or fishing! They also have a bridge that takes you through the woods on a little hike with an overlook that gives you a beautiful view of the area! It’s a great place to take the family! They have a canoe/kayak launch as well as a boat ramp! Almost every time we have gone out there has been manatees by the dock and this last time we saw an alligator!! They also have a playground but last time we were there it was under construction. It looks like they are updating the equipment. Round Island is definitely worth a visit!!

Beautiful nature trail through the island. The scenery here is absolutely to die for.

Gorgeous area to experience nature! The grounds were free of liter and taken care of. The trail is well kept and nice! Theres a large area for boating, kayaking, etc. The manatees were surfacing which just made my whole day! We also saw dolphins and all kinds of birds! There is a playground area for smaller children.

The park is divided, the beach access is on the east side of A1A, the playground and boardwalk over the water on the West. The boardwalk area has lots of parking with quick and easy access whether youd like to launch your kayak or walk the boardwalk to the bridge. We saw a pair of dolphins swim under the bridge. Its a beautiful and peaceful body of water. The beach on the other side is the most natural that Ive seen so far with grasses and wildflowers. Very few people were there so I think its known mostly to locals. Also a beautiful and peaceful place that I intend to frequent. Both sides of the park permit fishing. Highly recommended!

This is a beautiful area! There are trails, playground equipment, clean restrooms, and a boat launch for small craft and kayaks. Water is clean and trash free.

Really hate to review this place. It is totally awesome. Check out their website. Love to Kayak there.

Wow!This riverside is so pretty .. the nature view is stunning.. you can go to see the sunset or enjoy your day kayaking in the river where all the manatees and all this beauty!We will definitely go back again!- There is boat ramp.- There is a couple of spaces if you want to do BBQ.- There is playgrounds for kids.- The parking is free.

I love this park! You can see manatees with almost every visit.

Round island is a great place to escape the noise and just enjoy nature. There are walking paths you can go on, a lookout tower, a boat launch into the river, fishing, and of course the wildlife!Sightings of a wide variety of butterflies, birds, manatees, dolphins and depending on conditions and time of day, the occasional bobcat. (I have not been that lucky, but a friend has spectacular photos of an early morning sighting.)There are picnic table Pavilions and public restrooms on property. There is no charge to enter this park and it closes at sunset.NOTE: All photos attached taken by me!

Lots of Manatees in the afternoon. Nice peaceful park with a small walking trail. Quite a few mosquitos in October when I was there.

Beautiful place. Perfect for social distance

Good for seeing manatees for sure a few small trails as well

Always a treat to go here. Usually see manatees on the river side. Saw 5 river dolphins during our September visit. Well return. 5 out of seven stars for a perfect score.

Our favorite park in Vero Beach. Love that you can walk just 20 feet and youre outside of the park too. Wonderful place.

No pay to park was a plus fir me and 2 slot boat ramp and u can put kayaks in as well fishing around the island was a lil slow for me i got the wrong tide and hooked up to a 5 ft bull shark

If you love nature you’ll love there.Jungle trail. But Be aware of mosquitoes

The mosquitos were well worth getting to see a bobcat lounging in the sun.

I love this little parkThe quaint board walkLets you look into the mangrove. Swamo

Very nice nature park. A spot to view manatees and dolphins in a quiet pond/lake. Nice little hike in the woods is also available. The boardwalks are handicap accessible.

Heard from the locals that this was a good place to see manatees in the wild. We saw two manatees guessing a mother because there was a small one with her.

Beautiful park with awesome nature trails and some great facilities.Bring the boat, paddle boards, kayaks, whatever you like. Theres a perfect place to launch them all.There is also a multi story tower in the park with a beautiful overlook of the indian river and the mangroves. Highly recommend this nature park!

Manatees! Dolphins! Birds! Love this park. You can walk it, fish, kayak or boat. There is soo much to do and see!

Great morning paddle with the manatees!

Beautiful park with something for everybody. Hiking trails. Canoe and kayak launching area. Boat launching area. Plenty of parking. Playground for the kids. Lots of open space to do whatever.

Beautiful scenery. Can fish here and the pier had seating areas. Not much shade on a hot day

Awesome place for a family outing!

Safe, clean, easy to launch my paddleboard.

If your kayaking its a great adventure! Especially when the manatees are mating! Its also a great place to just walk the trail, as i did when i took my pics!

Beautiful park. More often than not, you will see manatee and dolphin. Mullet constantly jumping. Boat ramp, and kayak/canoe launch. Gorgeous dock with seating. Facilities available.

Nice place to visit. Has a new hiking trail and we enjoyed the boardwalks. Can see manatees sometimes depending on when you arrive.

Nice park with trails, fishing & boat launch area and convenient parking. very quiet. You can often see the manatees swimming in the river here.

Very famous for manatees but youll have to be extremely lucky to glimpse one. Otherwise a clean and a quiet place for boating or viewing the inter coastal.

Manatees were too far away today. Very peaceful though..

Just beautiful bring your kayak! Or just walk the traills and new boardwalks. The best of my back yard!

Great place to view manatee

Quiet lots of critters

We arrived to see Manatees and there they were. You have to be camera ready because they don’t pose. Beautiful boardwalk to view and short trail to tower. Cove calm and protected for boarding and kayaking. Please remember these are calm and peaceful animals and this location is a natural environment.You can launch a small boat and have a nice picnic.

Always clean facilities, walkways and trails are well maintained, just get crowded depending on times you go.

One of favorite spots to catch a view of the manatees. If you walk the trail a short way you will come to a tower/deck that you can climb and get fabulous views of the lagoon.

Great sheltered kayaking area. Perfectvplace to paddle when its windy. Paddled with dolphins today. Nice scenic trails on the island for walkers. Launch ramp for trailer boats. Nice beach across the street.

This place is beautiful!!

Decided to stop on our way home one evening to catch an early December sunset. Didnt disappoint as this photo shows. Nice beach comparable to South Beach up the road though not as wide.

Nice recreation area, boat and canoe launching. Beach park on the east side of the highway A1A. Seven miles north of Fort Pierce. Quiet ocean to river location. Great place to access the Indian River. Restroom facilities available and ample parking for automobiles as well as boat trailers.

I launch my kayak from Round Island and youre sure to see many manatee and dolphin. This is one of the best places to get close to nature.

Didnt see any manatees but it was a nice walk and good views

Favorite place to walk trails and put out boat in!

This park is great for short hikes, wildlife observation, and boating. Saw the manatee and other exciting wildlife.

Its full off fishes and its a very nice park

This place was really interesting. A small playground area, and trails, and beautiful scenery. Also, too cool actually getting to see a manatee in the wild. Would visit again, and recommend to others.

Its almost guaranteed to see a manatee...or 5 like we did!

Great place to manatee watch

Great for the whole family of any age

One of my favorite places, river on one side and ocean across the highway. Love to kayak on the river through the mangroves enjoying the manatees, dolphins, Rays, and assorted birds.

We visit this park every year looking for manatees, but we do not always see them. Other than the omnipresent mosquitos, this is a great place for a little hike with the kids.

Great public breach with showers and restrooms. Lifeguard until 5. Long wanders with few others. I liked this beach best of the Vero Beach parks.

Other side of Hwy A1A from the beach access between Vero Beach and Fort Pierce. Nice walking trails, the foot bridge to the island is a great place to watch for manatees. There is a good boat launch.This stretch of the Indian River is a beautiful place to paddle your canoe or kayak, with lots of sheltered lagoons in the mangroves.

Got to see 3 manatte just a beautiful walk

Hiked the island with the kids today. As usual, the kids had fun chasing little lizards and catching fiddler crabs. The playground and open grassy field are always a hit with the kids too.

We had a birthday party at the park. We use the pavilion and grill. It was in the shade with a lovely and a breeze from the ocean.

A wonderful quiet park with all types of birds and manatees. There is even a lovely walking path that takes you to different points by the lake. Love the cool ocean breeze that you feel there as well.For those with boats, there is even a decent boat ramp that you can use.

Round Island Riverside Park is a perfect place to go and see manatees, walk the trails, launch a canoe or small boat, or enjoy some open area to stretch your legs. The manatees can commonly be seen in the morning by walking out on a small boardwalk/dock or from atop a pedestrian bridge. There is a public restroom and basic playground equipment as well.

Round Island is s great place to visit. The River side offers great scenic views, nice walking trails, and lots of wildlife. The ocean side is a nice beach, and generally isnt too crowded.

Great spot with calm water to paddle board, kayak. Manatees are in their natural habit here. Loved walking across the bridge to see the beautiful scenery and view. Water is river water so its not the cleanest, or clear but you will see some swim here.

One of the few places I go to recenter myself

Its Always a relaxing place to go

We love going to this boat ramp. So much easier and you dont have to fight with people about who was there first.

Beautiful park

Very quiet natural beauty. Nice hiking trails around the water full of manatee dolphins all sorts of birds n scaled friends.Picnic area with pavillions, grills near public restrooms.4 storey observation tower has amazing views.Free to play, plenty of parking and easy beach access to cool off after your hike.

Beautiful views. Quiet too

Such a piece of heaven

Wonderful place to go hiking and walk an island

We like to see the manatees. Its Avery beautiful place to see

Best place to see the beautiful manatees, there were at least 20 out there bathing in the sun and hiding just below the water

Great fishing, good parks on both the river and ocean. Intresting nature trails.

Nice atmosphere

We did a comcast care day there, planted 40 two feet trees at the park, cleaned and picked up litter park and beach. Nice place to take the family to beach, nature trail, and picnic place.

Loved it!

Love visiting this place. We watched the dolphins and manatees.

Great place for a quick nature walk!

Not great shots from my paddle board and cell phone in a bag but my first time out and we see 5-7 manatee. Blew my mind almost even got tipped. Well worth the visit. Kayak or paddleboard (rented off site and/or bring your own) will get you up close and personal with the wildlife.

Beautiful place to kayak! Saw many species of birds and many large fish. Bring bug spray, tons of no see ums.

It was nice experience. A little drive, but awesome.

Round Island Park West is a great place to go kayaking and fishing. Saw manatees and dolphins from the shore and in the kayak. This is a good Park for the whole family to go to. Once you cross the foot bridge to the island there is still a lot to see and also a lookout tower.

Great place to launch a kayak

We stopped here while traveling to Miami during 2017 thanks giving. Its a very quiet place with not many people around. We had our packedlunch there. There were couple of picnic tables available. Rest room was clean and maintained well. We saw lot of fish, crabs. A good quiet spot to stop by and take a break. We spent about an hour and a half..

Lots of manatees and has kayak launch and boat ramp launch. And a little play ground for kids and rest rooms

Great place to see manatees, there is also a small playground and some trails. Overall a nice experience

Good beach playground for children,bathrooms,nice lil beach park

Very nice park with trails, fishing pier, boat ramp, picnic areas and bathrooms

Great little place for fishing and family fun plenty of parking

Beautiful

Good Fishing Spots!

Nice relaxing place

Great place to be with nature. Great outdoor activities. Beautiful views. Nice trails. Its free.

Nice place to launch kayaks or small boat, nice place to see manatees too, calm and quite! Nice trails, maintained, clean, pavilian for bar-b-q. Needs better kayak parking and two way road! But its nice

Great park to see some wildlife. Several boardwalk, trails, and tower over looking the inter coastal. Plenty of manatees to see ( today we saw at least 14 manatee), also have spotted dolphins two other times at the park. For being a guy from Michigan, the park reminds me a little bit of lakes you would find in Michigan. Fish jumping all over the place and birds all over.

Nice spot to watch manatees. Good entry point for paddle boards and kayaks.

Nice playgroung and picnic area.

Beautiful park and was awesome to see the manatees!

Beautiful!
