Sebastian Inlet north jetty set to close for construction in January 2027
The Sebastian Inlet District expects to close the entire north jetty to the public when the next construction phases begin in January 2027, with completion anticipated in July 2028. Exact closure and reopening days have not been announced. Florida State Parks also lists a separate temporary closure effective October 25, 2026; check the park notice before traveling.
The Sebastian Inlet District says the north jetty will close to the public for safety when phases 2 and 3 of its improvement project begin, anticipated in January 2027. The District expects construction to finish in July 2028. It has not announced an exact first day of closure or a reopening day, and its notice does not describe partial public access during construction.
The work includes new concrete piles, beams and decking, plus granite armor stone. For anglers who fish the jetty, the practical change is loss of north-jetty access during the project. The District notice concerns the north jetty; it does not announce a closure of the entire state park or the south jetty.
There is also a current access issue separate from the planned construction closure. Florida State Parks says the north jetty is temporarily closed effective October 25, 2026, without giving an end date. Check the park notice and the District project page for updates before making a trip to the inlet.
