Situated along the Indian River Lagoon and Sebastian River on Florida's Atlantic Ocean, Sebastian is the largest city in Indian River County. But with a population of just over 25,000, Sebastian offers all the perks of Florida living with a small, hometown feel.

Shopping ranges from unique boutiques to major retailers.

With its numerous waterways, Sebastian is known as a premier fishing, surfing and water sports destination on Florida's Atlantic Coast and is just minutes from some of the state's top family-friendly beaches. It is situated near many natural and scenic areas with over 20,000 acres of preserve and including Pelican Island, America's first National Wildlife Refuge; St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, part of the Great Florida Birding Trail; and Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, designated to protect green and loggerhead sea turtle nesting habitats.
