You would be only about an hour from Disney World. Also about an hour South of the Kennedy Space Center.

Well,

There isn't much that I know of (in Sebastian itself), but there is Captain Hirams' (resturant and sand bar with docking for boats) which is in Sebastian, pretty good food, sand bar is alot of fun. About 1/2 hour to 45 minutes south of Sebastian on US-1 is Fort Pierce, they have the EOD Museum, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, and there is the St. Lucie County Museum (all are on the water and are beautiful).

People move to Sebastian to grow old and not be bothered. There are very, very few activities to keep energetic people occupied. I have not been back there for ten yrs. The only reason being there was to fish or dig for clams. Clamming was fun in any part of the Indian River. Right time of the year.

Sebastian Inlet is the most exciting fishing spot I've ever been! Even if you don't fish, you can walk out on the jetty. I used to drive all the way across the state and back just to fish there one day.

Rent a boat and take the kids Dolphin watching, we have a timeshare in Sebastian and the bay is loaded with dolphins also Coco Beach is only 20 minuets west the beach and Ron Jons Surf shop is there.

This is what we do at Sebastian, and we drive 3 hours each way to do it!

Ditto what CigaretteSS said!!! Ride skis in the inlet, MONSTER swells. About the biggest, most fun stuff I've rode :)

Great pics Ted! YGL

My buddies use to go there to surf all the time. Know where the Spanish House is?

You might want to take a ride up to Ft. Pierce and visit National Liquidators. You will see two giant warehouses of parts from manufactureres, over-runs, salvage-reclaimed parts, and just about any other boat parts at a riduculous discount (on some items) and a very good discount on others. They have complete dashboards for many boats, (Donzi, Wellcraft, etc. etc.) sometimes Donzi seats, and a broad selection of just about anything for boats..............an amazing place, for sure. It's maybe 30 minutes from Sebastian.

FYI: Sebastian was hit hard by the hurricane. I saw one entire high & dry demolished. The accompaning restaurant was completely gutted by the wind. I saw 50 foot yachts across the highway and in a person't fromnt yard. Pretty surreal stuff after the storm.

Sebastian Inlet has one of the best surf's on the east coast. Fishing and Surfing at the Park ( Beach, Inlet, Jetty) Not sure what the Hurrican did?

Disneys Vero Beach Resort is about 2 miles south of Sebastian Inlet. It is at the intersection of A1A and CR 512. They have a lot of disney characters that show up at the resort. (not sure what age the kids are?) There is also a Treasure Museam in Sebastian called Mel Fishers.

I will post more later,

Thanks to all for the info. My daughter is 19 and my son is 13. We are spending a couple of days in Orlando at the Hard Rock Hotel in Universal, and then to Sebastian. Two nights at the Key West Inn. I can't wait to get out of Illinois, it's 5 degrees outside.

Well, how did you like it? It's pretty nice from the outside. It shares the back parking lot (east) with Captain Hirams, did you get a chance to make it there for dinner?

I thounght Hirams owned the Key West Inn???I'm pretty sure your right, atleast that's what I've heard also. Good idea though, get schnockered, then stumble across A1A there to get to the hotel,.......:boggled:
