Thank you for visiting the only internet site produced by and for the residents of Indian River Shores, Florida, a very special town located on the barrier island just north of Vero Beach.

Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Indian River lagoon and Intracoastal Waterway to the west, the five-mile-long town -- which includes the private community of John's Island -- has a year-around population of approximately 2,750, which swells to about double that number during the winter "season."

While some who do not live here think Indian River Shores is a part of Vero Beach (the two share the barrier island zip code 32963), residents know better. Indian River Shores has a relatively homogenous population strongly supportive of preserving a quality of life that has made this community one of the best places to live in Florida. We also have a public safety department -- police, fire, and emergency medical services -- second to none.

Among other things, this site offers Indian River Shores residents an exclusive opportunity to get an IndianRiverShores.org email address (ie, JSmith@IndianRiverShores.org), which in turn will entitle you to Indian River Shores Email News Updates on how events like the 2004 Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne have affected your home and your community.

Please explore this site and what we offer. We welcome your thoughts on how we can make IndianRiverShores.org even more valuable to our community in the future.
