Sebastian, FL – Capt. Hiram’s Resort in Sebastian Florida is one of the coolest places in Florida. On the Indian River, it’s almost directly across from Sebastian Inlet. Hiram’s features an outside Sand Bar with a beach, live entertainment and a great view. There is also an inside dining area that you’d feel as comfortable wearing shorts and flip-flops as you would and suit and tie.
Their menu is diverse with the fare ranging from crab cakes to filet mignon. Recently, I had their dolphin sandwich, referred to as Maui Maui on the menu (we natives still call em dolphin) and it was terrific as usual.
When I was living in Sebastian I thought every little seacoast town had a similar restaurant and yet as I travel throughout Florida, I have yet to find a place like Hiram’s.
Capt. Hiram’s Resort also features a full service hotel, a deep-water marina and banquet facilities.
