Why you'd want to live in Sebastian

Discover the natural splendor and rich history of Sebastian along Florida’s central Atlantic coast. Sebastian is nestled between Vero Beach and Melbourne along Indian River Lagoon, considered North America’s most biologically diverse estuary, and is conveniently located across from Sebastian Inlet, Florida’s premier fishing and surfing spot on the east coast, with a vast array of activities and attractions for eco-lovers, adventures seekers and relaxation enthusiasts. Sebastian is home to Pelican Island, America’s first National Wildlife Refuge, and is also known for its unspoiled beauty, diverse fishing – from world-class bass fishing to deep-sea fishing adventures. You’ll find pristine waterways perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding, scenic pontoon & airboat tours, world-renowned surfing and skydiving, and abundant birding and wildlife viewing. Sebastian is also known for the rare antiquities that have washed up on its shores. A shipwreck from the 1715 Spanish Plate Fleet left many treasures along Sebastian’s coast, and many treasure hunters continue to search the shoreline for other artifacts. Stroll the picturesque riverfront adorned with dockside restaurants serving fresh catches and marinas harboring fishing and sightseeing boats.
