Sebastian, Florida, is still somewhat of a hidden gem on the Atlantic Coast. Nestled directly north of Vero Beach and a little south of Melbourne, Sebastian has amazing outdoor adventures along the Intracoastal Waterway and is minutes from the Wabasso bridge that takes you directly to the beach. It also has some unique attractions and offerings at a much lower price than some neighboring towns. Here is how to spend an amazing day in Sebastian, a growing city with oodles of charm and fun.

Except for one thing: the mosquitoes.
The 90-year-old Vero Beach resident, who lived along the Indian River on the island until the age of 4, said mosquitoes were so bad that residents used smudge pots to create a constant level of smoke in hopes of driving the nasty bugs away.
“I remember they were so bad they covered the screens,” said Wolverton, as she stood Friday on Jungle Trail just south of Jones Pier where her home once stood. “You couldn’t even see outside; all you could see and hear were mosquitoes.”
