Sebastian Inlet Beach Guide

More than three miles of Atlantic beach plus inlet scenery, surfing, fishing and a protected cove—beautiful, but with more current and access considerations than a typical city beach.

Current access notice

Know before the drive.

ClosureOct 3, 2026

South-side beach access unavailable during construction

Sebastian Inlet State Park currently says access to the beach from the south side is unavailable due to construction. The park advises visitors to plan for possible impacts and extra travel time.
