A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Kevin Jones

Hi Folks,

Spring has sprung at Sebastian Inlet State Parkyou might even think it’s summer from the temperatures we’ve been enjoying.

The new concession building is complete and Inlet Grill & Gifts is open for business.  If you have not yet enjoyed the food and view from this facility, make it a priority.  You will not be disappointed.

Fishing has been good for large bluefish.  Some fish have been scaling into the double digits with weights of 10 & 12 lbs.  Anglers are also finding whiting, sheepshead, and a few pompano off the north jetty.  Come out and enjoy the day and try your luck; it’s a great way to relax from our routine, busy lives.

We have seen the first sea turtle activity of the season as a leatherback crawled out of the Atlantic Ocean and onto the inlet’s south beaches.  Three species of sea turtles nest on park beaches:  leatherbacks, loggerheads, and greens.  Skilled and permitted Park Rangers will be presenting public sea turtle programs in June and July.  Reservations are necessary to participate in these popular nighttime programs.  Please visit Friends of Sebastian Inlet State Park for information about participating in a Sebastian Inlet State Park “Sea Turtle Walk.”
