Sebastian, Florida, is an old fishing village located on the east coast, about halfway between Melbourne and Vero Beach. Nearby Sebastian Inlet State Park is well known for saltwater fishing, as well as surfing, swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving. The Hammock Trail offers hiking opportunities, and the Indian River Lagoon canoeing and kayaking options. At the end of the day, waterfront lodging options will let you rest up for more fun the following day.
