Sebastian

Among Florida’s cities, Sebastian stands out for its position on the Indian River Lagoon, close to where Sebastian Inlet connects the lagoon with the Atlantic Ocean. The city occupies the lagoon’s western shore on Florida’s Treasure Coast, a low-lying stretch shaped by estuaries, mangroves and barrier islands. Just north lies Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1903 as the first national wildlife refuge in the United States. Sebastian also maintains a link to the region’s maritime past through the Mel Fisher’s Treasure Museum, whose collection relates to the 1715 Spanish Plate Fleet.
