Honest John's Fish Camp
Old Florida Near Melbourne Beach
Honest John's Fish Camp is at the end of a dirt road south of Melbourne Beach about 5 miles north of Sebastian Inlet. It is not only a great place for fishing, it is an authentic piece of Old Florida history and heritage.
It is the original homestead of Robert T. Smith and his family that dates back to the 1880s. Honest John Smith started the fish camp. He was the quintessential Florida Cracker, well known for not wearing shoes. His daughter and grandsons still run it after all these years.
