The unspoiled beauty of River Breeze Park offers
visitors a glimpse back into the early, unhurried days of Florida’s
history. Situated on the historic and fabled Indian River, the park is
37 acres with five acres directly on the river. The surrounding waters
were once an abundant food source for the early Indian tribes, as
evidenced by the shell middens (mounds of oyster and clam shells) near
the campgrounds. After Florida’s settlement, the fertile shores became a
thriving citrus grove, known to produce some of the best citrus products
in the world.
Today, River Breeze Park offers a panoramic view
of nature’s splendor and provides an excellent vantage point for bird
watching. Reward yourself with an excursion into a scenic balance
between people and nature. Bring your picnic lunch, fishing rod, camping
gear or camera. It will be quality time, well spent, for the entire
family.
