Sebastian Inlet State Park

Find world-class surfing, Spanish gold, and a premier saltwater fishing spot at Sebastian Inlet. This barrier island separates the Atlantic Ocean and Indian River on Florida's east coast. Regular surfing events draw pros and amateurs to the crystal-blue waters. You might win a prize if you're savvy enough.

Cast your line off of the iconic fishing pier. If you forgot your bait and tackle, don't worry. Several outfitters have your back, whether you want a rod and reel or an all-day excursion.

If you fancy a different kind of adventure, bring your metal detector. In 1715, a Spanish treasure fleet wrecked here. Even though a large cache was found in the 1980s, people still find gold or artifacts on public beaches. Check out the McLarty Treasure Museum to see some of the booty.

Campgrounds here come with boat ramps for convenience. Park your RV or pitch your tent before embarking on a fishing or treasure-hunting adventure of a lifetime. Be warned: Summertime is crowded.
