The Florida Legislature created the Sebastian Inlet Tax District in 1918. In 1924, the Sebastian Inlet was opened at its current location and small jetties were completed. Between 1924 and 1941 the Inlet opened and closed several times due to the shifting sands caused by storms. For safety reasons, it was left closed during World War II, then permanently blasted open in 1947. Yearly passes are also available.
Most facilities are wheelchair accessible.
