Primitive Camping

Primitive camping is defined as being without neighbors, electricity, running water, bathroom facilities and, often times, cell service. The Sebastian Inlet area has long been a favorite destination for family and friends, featuring two outstanding public campgrounds with unrestricted access to the Indian River Lagoon, pristine beaches, abundant wildlife and a dose of Florida coastal history. There are no condos anywhere near the three miles of beachfront within Sebastian Inlet State Park, a haven for surfers seeking the best breaks on the Florida coast.

INSHORE FISHING

The Sebastian River Area not only offers premier saltwater fishing along the Central East Coast of Florida but there’s also great inshore fishing. There are over 13,000 acres of freshwater wilderness famous for trophy bass, the diverse Indian River Lagoon has over 500 species of fish and the St. Sebastian River takes you back in time with its “Old Florida” charm.

The Indian River Lagoon is just one of the many waterways that attracts fisherman to the Sebastian River Area. Being an estuary of national significance, North America’s most biologically diverse, it has more than 2,200 different species of animals and 2,100 species of plants. It is 156 miles and spans through 6 counties varying in width from .5 to 5 miles and averaging 3 feet in depth. The Lagoon serves as a spawning and nursery ground for many different species of oceanic and lagoon fish and shellfish. The diversity of the lagoon draws millions of boaters and fisherman annually. Red drum, spotted sea trout, snook, and tarpon are the main gamefish sought.

Great place and great experience! My wife and I spent our wedding anniversary at Sebastian Inlet Park and ate at Surfside Grill. Nice and practical options, and very friendly staff.

Nicole

We recently camped at the Sebastian Inlet State Park and Surfside Grill & Adventures was conveniently the nearest eatery. You order at the window and it’s self seating. The food was okay, but it’s a perfect spot to enjoy a bite to eat and they have cocktails for the adults and ice cream for the kiddos. They are also pet friendly (deck only). They offer tours, kayak/boat/etc rentals, and is a venue for special events. The views are beautiful and there is a boardwalk and beach close by. It’s not fine dining, but again, it’s close to the state park and is a perfect spot to grab a quick bite to eat and relax.

Leah

Wonderful little place with a view. They were so sweet making me Mahi nachos that were super good. Great place to swing by and grab a bite or beverage so close to the beach. What a gem!
