Sebastian is a small city on the Indian River Lagoon where the St. Sebastian River meets it, in the northern corner of Indian River County. People come for fishing, paddling and birding on the lagoon, surfing and fishing at Sebastian Inlet, and the shipwreck treasure history of the Treasure Coast.
Things to do in Sebastian
Sebastian Inlet State Park, across the lagoon on the barrier island, is the big draw: jetties popular with anglers, one of the best-known surf breaks on Florida’s east coast, beaches on both sides of the inlet and the McLarty Treasure Museum, which tells the story of the 1715 Spanish treasure fleet wrecked off this coast. Back in town, Mel Fisher’s Treasure Museum on US 1 shows recovered artifacts, and Riverview Park on the waterfront hosts concerts and the Sebastian Riverfront Fine Art and Music Festival. Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, just south, was the first national wildlife refuge in the country, created in 1903; its boardwalk and observation tower look out over the island’s nesting birds.
