Welcome to Sebastian, Florida where retirement is really easy.  In Sebastian, we boast of our hometown ambience , which models the "old south" because of our laid back lifestyle and "fishing village" history.  Now, more than ever, Sebastian is the place to live or visit frequently because quality housing is plentiful and affordable.  Sebastian has the perfect location, close enough to the benefits of major metropolitan areas like Orlando, and West Palm Beach, without the hustle and bustle.  Here in Sebastian you won't find traffic jams, congestion or over development as in other parts of Florida.  You'll find high quality of life for a reasonable cost of living that can truly make retirement a joy.  In fact, as the City's slogan goes, even the "six old grouches" don't detract from our little piece of paradise on the Indian River Lagoon.

Sebastian is special and different because of our character and amenities.  For example, Sebastian is home of "Pelican Island", the first National Wildlife Refuge.  Along our waterfront, you'll find all types of water sports, boat docks/moorings, repair, and storage facilities, deep-sea fishing, eco-tourism, surfing, miles of beaches and a direct outlet to the Atlantic Ocean from the Indian River/Intracoastal Waterway thru the Sebastian Inlet.  The City also operates an 18-hole championship golf course with practice facilities, golf professionals and a fully stocked pro shop.  For the aviation enthusiast, Sebastian has a City owned, "boutique" municipal airport with lighted 4,000 foot runways, aircraft storage, maintenance, and even a world-reknowned skydiving school/facility are on the field.
