Wabasso Beach Park
Wabasso Beach, FL
Wabasso Beach Park anchors a stretch of Indian River County beach access with more than 42 parking spaces, restrooms, and a paved beach walkover, making it one of the better equipped public beaches in the county. Nearby Seagrape Trail and Golden Sands add more access points along the same general stretch for anyone who wants a quieter spot.
The reliable parking and facilities make it a dependable local beach, though it doesn't have much distinct character beyond being well equipped.
How we score beachesThis is a straightforward, well equipped beach without much of a distinct character beyond that, come here for the reliable parking and facilities rather than expecting anything dramatic. Leave dogs at home, they aren't allowed here even leashed.
The lot has more than 42 spaces, paved, with restrooms and rinsing showers on site.
A paved beach walkover leads from the lot to the sand, flat and easy for most visitors.
Dogs aren't allowed at Wabasso Beach Park; Indian River Shores just south is the nearest option for leashed dogs.
Spring and fall bring the mildest weather for this stretch of the Treasure Coast. Summer's heat and hurricane season, June through November, are the main things to plan around.
