Sebastian Inlet and Fishing

Sebastian Inlet State Park is one of Florida's premier surfing and fishing destinations. The inlet connects the Indian River Lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean. FWC patrols the inlet and surrounding waters for BUI, fishing regulations, and boating safety. The Sebastian Inlet fishing pier generates tournament-related enforcement. Park rangers handle incidents within the state park boundaries.

Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge

Sebastian is adjacent to Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, the nation's first national wildlife refuge. US Fish and Wildlife officers patrol the refuge. Federal violations on the refuge are prosecuted through the federal court system, not the 19th Circuit. FWC enforcement in the surrounding lagoon waters processes through Indian River County.

CR-512 and the Riverview Area

CR-512 (Sebastian Boulevard) is the primary east-west corridor connecting I-95 to the riverfront. The Riverview area along Indian River Drive has restaurants and the Sebastian River Marina. Weekend waterfront activity generates seasonal enforcement. SPD patrols from CR-512 to the US-1 corridor.

Brevard County Border

Sebastian borders Brevard County to the north. The county line runs roughly at Micco. An arrest north of the county line goes to the Brevard County Jail in Sharpes, a completely different facility from the Vero Beach jail. The Indian River County Clerk at (772) 770-5185 handles case lookups for all county arrests.
