Sebastian Inlet District
Share
The premier surfing, boating and fishing spot on the east coast of Florida!
If bait fish are a valuable resource, then anglers are leaving a lot of money on the jetty. You can do better. Under Florida Statute 379.2421, anyone taking fish using nets, seines, or other fishing devices who chooses not to keep them due to size, preference, or other reasons is legally required to return them to the water.

Flashback Friday - Woo hoo! Sebastian Inlet was closed during World War II, but it was reopened by 1948, the year this photo was taken. The inlet has remained opened ever since. See more images at www.sitd.us/the-history-of-sebastian-inlet
Wildlife Wednesday: Our main focus is maintaining the navigational channel between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, but we collaborate with marine scientists to conduct biological monitoring of the critically important habitats surrounding the inlet that support a broad range of different species. This brief video illustrates the wondrous marine life hidden just below the surface of this liquid highway we call the Sebastian Inlet channel.

Saturday's International Coastal Cleanup event at Sebastian Inlet's tide pool proved to be our biggest turnout yet at this site! More than 60 people turned out to help remove more than 275 pounds of trash from the shoreline within two hours. We were invaded by a huge contingent of wonderful Walmart employees who pushed our volunteer numbers to an all-time high. Also, thanks to our partners at Coastal Connections, Inc., Sebastian Inlet State Park and all of the volunteers who made this one of the most successful clean-up events ever at this site.

Flashback Friday: Photos from 1947 remind us that Sebastian Inlet is manmade and has always required maintenance and repair. A storm closed the inlet at the beginning of World War II and it remained closed for national security reasons. However, the District began excavating sand in 1947 and reopened the inlet a year later. The piece of equipment in the top photo resembling a cannon is actually an 18-inch pump used for dredging.

Last call! Register for the largest coastal cleanup event of the year! On Saturday, we'll gather at Sebastian Inlet's tide pool to remove dangerous plastics, cigarette butts, monofilament fishing line and other trash to protect marine life at the inlet and keep our coast clean. We partner with Coastal Connections, Inc., and Sebastian Inlet State Park to provide supplies and guidance. Register early at TINYURL.COM/ICC2026IRC See less
We will long for the translucent waters of summer at Sebastian Inlet's north jetty once autumn arrives. The water clarity two weeks ago revealed several manatees surrounded by baitfish a few feet from the jetty structure. If you watch carefully, a remora appears to catch a ride on one of the manatees. Scenes like this remind us of why the inlet is an east coast Florida jewel. Visit our Environment webpage at www.sitd.us/wildlife-sanctuary-af8b156

Flashback Friday: Closed during World War II, the inlet was blown open with dynamite in 1948 (top photo). The inlet as it appeared in 1960, five years before the opening of the yet-to-be-built Sebastian Inlet Bridge (bottom photo). See our history timeline at www.sitd.us/the-history-of-sebastian-inlet
