The nautical theming continues at the on-site restaurant, Wind and Waves Grill. Wrapped in warm wooden cladding and festooned with nautical curios, Wind and Waves Grill is an upscale sit-down restaurant with a wide range of breakfast and dinner options highlighting fresh-caught seafood. Pressed for time? Wind and Waves Market offers a variety of grab-and-go items, as well as made-to-order light bites like sandwiches, salads, and burgers. The resort also features two bars: the Green Cabin Room, serving high-end cocktails, and the poolside Wind and Waves Bar, where you’ll find wine, beer, and specialty drinks.
Tour de Turtles
One of the most unique things about Disney’s Vero Beach Resort is its commitment to conservation. The resort shares space with a primary nesting area for the loggerhead sea turtle. In keeping with Walt Disney’s eco-friendly legacy, it was designed for minimal impact on their nesting grounds. Since hatchlings use moonlight to guide them back to the sea, the resort’s east-facing windows are tinted to minimize interference by interior lights, and all exterior lights face away from the ocean.
Every July, Disney further demonstrates its commitment with the annual Tour de Turtles. Held in partnership with the Sea Turtle Conservancy, Vero Beach Resort’s Tour de Turtles is a fun, educational event tracking the turtles’ nesting patterns as they make their way to their nesting and feeding grounds. In addition, it provides the turtles a safe place to nest and ensures the hatchlings safely return to the sparkling blue waters of the Atlantic. This is a one-of-a-kind vacation experience you won’t want to miss, and one you won’t soon forget.
