Monique's Medley: Vero Beaching It

I don't go swimming at the beach very often, but after spending a great weekend with my family at Vero Beach I plan on increasing my visits to the Floridian shoreline.

Vero Beach is a quaint little town. The people are hospitable and the ambiance is inviting. The town is ideal for those wanting to get away from hectic city life. During my stay I was very shocked by how quiet the nights are there. Plazas all about were bare and empty at 9 p.m. Quite different from most of Florida's cities.

Craving seafood, we devoured a local favorite, Mr. Manatees. The food was incredible! The seafood was fresh and flavorful with a slight island twist. So much so my family was surprised to find a collection Matouk's pepper sauce on the shelves (Trinidadian hot sauce).
