Great Outdoors Much of Indian River County's high quality of life is traceable to its beautiful beaches, plentiful parks and wildlife areas. Famous for its surfing, the inlet park features fishing, swimming, boating, diving and water sports in abundance. Hiking, camping and picnicking activities are also encouraged. Yet the park is part of the larger Archie Carr Wildlife Refuge, so endangered sea turtles and numerous animal and bird species including manatees are not only sighted but also protected.
