Beautiful park, but the rudest park ranger I've ever met. It seemed I was a burden cause I asked questions. Then when I requested to purchase a year Florida Park Pass, I was over working her. Bless her little heart. ❤️

Spent a day here with my young children. By far the cleanest beach I’ve been on in Florida. The Atlantic beaches had large waves and cold water, but the north river inlet was zero waves and warmer, shallow water. The bathrooms were clean and all staff were friendly. Saw dolphins, turtles and countless birds.

Great camping set up. We have perfect vantage points of sunsets right outside our door. This is a mecca for fishermen. My husband goes everyday to bother the north side of the park and right across from our camper in #13.

What a great place to visit. My family packed a lunch and made use of the picnic area on the south side of the inlet. We noticed that this side has some nice campsites. We didn't camp here, but we will consider it on my next visit.
Don't forget to drive over to the north side of the inlet. The boardwalk goes out a distance and you'll see fishermen casting their lines. You can walk around the park, enjoy the beach area or even stop at the restaurant.

Relaxing, family-friendly environment. Perfect for fishing, building sandcastles, reading a book, having a picnic, and swimming with wild dolphins. Please respect the animals if you come. No touching!!!

Excellent place to spend the day out camp near the water. I haven't ever seen so many sea turtles in one spot in my life. Boat ramp to launch a boat, intercoastal wade fishing is phenomenal. Kayak fishing is amazing, along with pier and jetty fishing. A beautiful lagoon to swim in for the kids and family. Perfect for a day trip.

Stopped to enjoy the park, have lunch and walk our two best friends. Beautiful area. Well stocked Store and the small museum was very informative. Right across the water is the Indian River Lagoon Preserve State Park.

Incredible State Park. Great beach access and spots to fish the inlet. Nice museum on the south side. Ample parking and camping spots available.

Nice day to enjoy the sun and check out the local fishermen (and women). Very nice and well equipped bait shop right on the park. Very nice park with even some shaded parking spots under the overpass.
Lindsay Prose
Such a beautiful spot to stop in and check out. Our beach house provided a great setup so I wouldn't spend the day here..but it's worth a visit for sure. We waded in the inlet, and the kids tried to snorkel, but it wasn't as clear as we hoped. The boardwalk is lovely and easy to access to check out some action. We saw lots of manatee, crabs, different sorts of fish, and gorgeous views.

An absolutely beautiful location! Views from many campsites are incredible! It's August and in the 90s but sitting in shade with sea breeze is beautiful. Fishing is good too! Noseeums can be a nuisance but still a great place to get away!

We camp here every year for my husband's birthday. The park was well kept and quiet, and the bathrooms were clean. As always, we really enjoyed our stay.
Andrea Grainger
Highly recommend this park. Went swimming at the beach then later snorkling in the safety of the Cove (see park map for location). A local manatee swam into the Cove and as it left it swam under me. The currents at the beach and inlet are STRONG so be warned!

I am glad we decided to drive on A1A Hwy was suggested by a local resident. We stopped and checked out the Sebastian Inlet State Park admmiss is $8. It is very clean and nice camping, swimming, fishing and picnic area. I do suggest a little more shade in the park overall is a great place to visit.

Very nice, well kept, and spacious camp sites! The bathhouse(s) were very well kept and stocked with paper etc. We only stayed one night BUT we will be back to check out all the fun things to do in the area! Bring your fishing gear, boats, etc. We also loved the little fishing museum (free to attend) on site! The very informative video is packed with great info about the areas history! Be sure to watch for the MANY turtles, dolphins and beautiful birds in the park!
