Our family used to spend a lot of time at this rec area, long before they started charging to get in. What they do with all the money they collect I have no idea. They certainly don't spend much improving the place. It's a pity but we have on been there once recently and I can think of plenty better... More

I discovered this place last year and returned again to see the brown pelicans. They are everywhere! If you approach the inlet from the parking lot, there are many adult and immature brown pelicans lounging on the rocks, occasionally flying to catch a fish, or, better yet, hoping to get something a fisherman doesn't want. The brown pelican is my... More

If you are looking for some fun in the sun, look no further than Sebastian Inlet! The view is incredible, setting gorgeous, and with the updated park, it's a great place to spend the day. We had a delicious and moderately priced lunch on the top of the grill deck. (burgers are juicy and tasty, shrimp was great) You can't... More

This is a great state park that allows boaters access to the ocean and Indian River Lagoon. Enjoy the sandy beach and surf ( International Surf Contest in January). A unique and free fishing museum to visit, and the price for a family is cheap.

Gorgeous location to do some kayaking in. Clear waters and wonderful weather. Loved checking out the HUGE hermit crabs and snails in their shells walking along the shallow beach bottom. Definitely wear your sunscreen and bring plenty if water.. It gets very hot!! Would recommend to go during morning high tide when it isn't as hot and you have less... More

Visited and spent the day biking and geocaching on the trails in the area. Very scenic. Next time we visit, we will have to bring the RV and stay a few days.

We were staying in Melbourne Beach and was looking for something different with more wildlife and nature. So we went to the Inlet state park and I am glad we did. On the north side there is an inlet beach which is nice and the water was warm. Plus on the ocean side, there is a fishing pier that you... More
