Both tourists and the increased residential population place great <br />demand on the beach resources. Not only are the beaches the number one <br />tourist destination in IndiarLRiver County, but County residential users comprise <br />an average of 46 percent of all beach users. <br />These 22 miles of Atlantic oceanfront beaches are a major economic asset to <br />Indian River County.
