Sebastian Inlet has a rich history tied to fishing and maritime activities. The inlet was originally used by Native Americans and later became a key location for settlers in the 19th century, who relied on its waters for sustenance and transportation.

In the 20th century, the area developed into a popular destination for fishing and recreation. The construction of the Sebastian Inlet Bridge in the 1960s further connected the region, making it more accessible to visitors.
