along the entire inlet shore, The north
and south jetties, surf fishing from the
beach south of the inlet, (the north
side is one of the most popular surfing
spots on the east coast of the country

the south side), two catwalks under the
bridge, a small dock at the campground,
(south side of the inlet) and the lagoon
to the west. Other species caught are
redfish, snapper, tarpon, seatrout, etc.
Great kayaking in the area but be
careful of the strong inlet currents.
Launch closer to or on the lagoon (west)
side. There are also hiking trails,

two museums, and a great sand bottom
shallow swimming and wading lagoon. A
boat ramp can be found on the south side

site. The McLarty Treasure Museum tells
the story about the Spanish Treasure
Fleet of 1715, that wrecked along the
florida southeast coast in that year.
The El Capitan was the northernmost
shipwreck of that fleet and sank on the
shallow sandbars within a mile of the
south jetty. The museum is on the site
of the survivors campground. The
Sebastian Fishing Museum tells the
history of the area's fishing industry.
