Sebastain Inlet State Park
One of Florida's most popular state
parks, Sebastain Inlet is a mecca for
snook fishing and is easily located on
Highway A1A about 15 miles south of
Melbourne Beach. When you see the big
bridge, you are there. Shoreline fishing
can be had 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 so if your game is
surf fishing, go to 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, biking trails, good
snorkeling, diving, two museums, and a
great sand bottom shallow swimming and
wading lagoon. A boat ramp can be found
on the south side on the lagoon. There
are two museums on 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 the 11
ship fleet that was driven ashore by a
massive hurricane in July of 1715 and
broke apart on the shallow reefs within
a mile of the south jetty. All 11 ships
were lost and over 1,000 sailers died.
The museum is on the site of the
survivors of the El Capitan campground.
The Sebastian Fishing Museum tells the
history of the area's fishing industry.
