Sebastian Florida

Sebastian is located in Indian River County north of Fort Pierce between Palm Bay and Vero Beach along US Hwy 1 near Blue Cypress Lake and the Atlantic coastline.

Vestiges of 18th century Spanish culture can be revisited at the various historical and archaeological museums in the area. The Sebastian River area is also host to many nature-based activities. Bald eagles, one third of the manatees in the United States, and 200-300 pound loggerhead turtles can be viewed from the Indian River Lagoon. For Kayakers, the Sebastian River is a trip through a pristine wilderness. A boardwalk nature trail through the Environmental Learning center offers a view of pine trees, mangroves, thousands of species of animals, fish, birds and over 36 rare or endangered animal species.

Sebastian is one of Florida's original Treasure Coast communities and the home of Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge.
