Sebastian anchors the northern tip of the Atlantic coastline known as Florida’s Treasure Coast. Incorporated in 1923, the city is home to the nation’s first wildlife refuge, Pelican Island. Now the largest municipality in Indian River County, Sebastian has long been a favorite destination of fisherman and water sports enthusiasts. The St. Sebastian River, Indian River Lagoon and the open water of the Atlantic Ocean make Sebastian a choice locale for residents as well as tourists. Sebastian is known to surfing fans as one of the the best locations for waves on the U.S. east coast.
