Sebastian Inlet State Park

This 1,000-acre state park is known for its world-class surfing and fishing opportunities.

Surf, swim, fish, and camp out when you visit Sebastian Inlet State Park, located on the east coast of Florida. The park spans over 1,000 acres on the Sebastian River and Atlantic Ocean and has been a highly sought-after spot among surfers for many years because of the unique surf breaks here that are consistent throughout the year. You can of course enjoy all of your other favorite beach pastimes here too, like sunbathing, snorkeling, beachcombing, and picnics.

The park is also renowned for its amazing salt and freshwater fishing opportunities; the jetties here are known for being abundant with snook, redfish, grouper, and snapper. If you’re looking to experience more of the flora and fauna at the park, there are trails that wind through coastal hammocks and mangrove forests. The Hammock Trail is a 1-mile trail that immerses you in these delicate and imperative ecosystems and allows you to see all kinds of shore birds and other native wildlife. The park is part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, and you can even ask for a bird spotting checklist from one of the park’s rangers!

Swing by the McLarty Treasure Museum and dive into the history of the 1715 Spanish treasure fleet and how this came to be known as the Treasure Coast.

If you love the outdoors and all kinds of water activities, a trip to Sebastian Inlet State Park is definitely for you. Relax, play, and learn when you visit this exceptional and beautiful state park.
