Sebastian is located at the northern
tip of the Treasure Coast at the center of the Florida east coast
and is famously known as one of the last remaining fishing
villages.
The visual setting of Sebastian is one of amazing natural beauty
with its waterways — the river, the lagoon and it shoreline, the
palms, oaks, egrets, pelicans, sandpipers, beautiful sunrises and
sunsets.
This beach town is populated with natives who knew Miami and
Fort Lauderdale in the days before massive high-rises and
overcrowding. They appreciate the area's small-town feel, and
that's exactly the appeal for visitors: a laid-back atmosphere,
friendly people, and friendlier prices.
The beautiful waterways of Sebastian include the St. Sebastian
River, the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean and provide a
plethora of recreational activities. The waves at the Sebastian
Inlet are known to be the best for surfing on the eastern seaboard.
A crowd of well-tanned surfers from all over the state descends on
the region, especially the Sebastian Inlet, to catch some of the
state's biggest waves.
Other water sports enthusiasts enjoy the area's fine diving and
windsurfing. Anglers are also in heaven here. In spring, baseball
buffs can catch some action from the L.A. Dodgers as they train in
exhibition games.
The Atlantic shore is lined with unspoiled beaches and many
parks with playgrounds, picnic tables, grills and restrooms — fun
for the entire family.
