BREVARD COUNTY • SEBASTIAN INLET, FLORIDA — Sebastian Inlet State Park welcomed back eager visitors today as the beloved north jetty officially reopened following an eight-month closure for repairs.

Enthusiasts of fishing, surfing, and coastal scenery poured in to celebrate the occasion and reclaim one of Florida’s iconic recreational spots.

Longtime fishing guide and Sebastian Inlet State Park volunteer, Wayne Landry, affectionately known as Snookman, had the honor of leading the reopening.

After a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony, Landry stepped forward to unlock the gate, marking the official return of public access to the restored jetty.

The repairs, critical to maintaining the structural integrity and safety of the jetty, were completed in partnership with park staff and the Eastern Surfing Association, who also assisted in organizing the reopening celebration.

Park staff expressed their appreciation to the community for its patience during the closure and to all those who contributed to making the reopening a success.
