From Indian River County
From Interstate 95, take the Fellsmere/Sebastian exit and go east (towards Sebastian) on County Road 512. After a short distance, turn right on County Road 510. This road will intersect with U.S. Highway 1. Continue east, over the Indian River, to State Road A1A. Turn left (north) and go 7 miles on State Road A1A, you will have arrived at Sebastian Inlet.
From Brevard County
From Interstate 95, take the U.S. 192 exit and go east until you reach State Road A1A in Indialantic. Turn right (south) on State Road A1A and go 18 miles to get to Sebastian Inlet.
There are two entrances to the park located on either side of the channel (bridge). The north entrance is the surfer’s zone, concession stand (new management) and swimming area. The south entrance is the campground, boat ramp, and shore launch area we use (just drive until you come to the end, and that is where we meet). Bathhouses, water hook-ups, picnic area and grills are onsite. Pets must be leashed and are not permitted to go into the water.
When launched and riding out to the channel, we must be in single file and idle, also staying to the center when going under the bridge (mega long fishing lines)…strictly enforced. Once you get through the inlet, Monster Hole breaks at 1-2 o’clock. We head north of the surfer’s zone for shore pound if MH is not breaking.
CAMPING
Free on the islands if you have/find a boat to get your gear there and back.
