Excellent place to visit! Lots of information and treasure finds on the 11 ships lost in 1715. They provide a 45 minute video on the history of the shipwrecks and you can tour the building at your own pace. Very knowledgeable guides and super nice. Observation deck that overlooks the beach/ocean. Wheelchair accessible and seating provided throughout.

Such a fabulous little hidden gem of a museum! The location is gorgeous and historic. This is the exact spot where a fleet of Spanish ships sank in a hurricane in the 1700s. This museum has a gorgeous lookout point complete with a pirate flag and ship wheel overlooking the beach. The museum features all kinds of treasure found on the beaches like Spanish coins, sword hilts, rings and other dinnerware. To make it even better, it only costs $2 per person and we met the nicest docent who talked to my daughter about items found on the beaches and even gave her a few little things to take home with her! We found this place by accident on our way home from the Keys, but I'm so glad we did. Hope to return one day!

Small but amazing. Greated with the smile. The history is there and very well explained. It has a deck to the beach and a movie clip about the history. The employee are great. Loved the place. Entrance is $2.00 per person but its mainly like a donation. They have souvenir and books too. There is a registration book to sign your name/family and were your from.

A great way to spend a couple hours, a good movie for background on the treasure coast. $2 to get in. Worth the trip. Also Mel Fishers museum isn’t too far but is much more expensive but lots of treasures to see.

Only $2 admission! Friendly staff eager to help and educate about the Treasure Coast! Great short film about the Spanish fleet that blew up on the reefs with all their treasures! Makes you want to get a metal detector and cruise the beach after a hurricane!

Small museum, but the staff are eager to share their passion of the history that happened at that site. We loved it! Coach brought the pirates and stories of treasure to life. We've got a young son who loves treasure hunting and pirate stories. Stunning views of the ocean too.

Great little hidden jewel. Only $2.00 admission charge. Very informative staff and a nice video (at 45 minutes a bit long but very informative). The displays of recovered artifacts are well layed out. There is a board walk area to view the reef area where the ships went down.

A small museum that gives a brief history of the intersting history in the area. Worth a visit if you are in the area

What a great place to visit and learn about the treasures. Corey had lots of interesting information to tell. Thanks for a wonderful visit. The video was very good, needs a bit of an update in the time frame to be more recent as well.

This is a very nice, albeit small, state run museum about the history of the treasure coast and the Spanish treasure fleet shipwrecked here. Admission is $2. Please bring fives and ones. They do take credit/debit, too. There’s multiple displays and dioramas, many with sound, about the history of the area, the people who lived here, and, of course, the treasures lost here. A 45 minute film runs continuously and although fairly dated it’s still interesting. They also have a boardwalk leading to an observation deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It’s accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. There’s a small gift shop with books, “coins,” maps, postcards, jewelry, and ironwood at very reasonable prices. Great way to spend an hour or two learning about the area.

Figured out it was closed due to Covid after an hour drive

Awesome place to learn about the wrecks of 1715.

Nice little treasure museum. Friendly staff.

Fun place to see amazing artifacts from shipwrecks and a cute ship deck overlooking the ocean. Make sure to bring some skin so soft to keep the little no-see-ems from biting your legs while outside on the observation deck. My little ones loved playing on the "ship"!

Thos is a great museum. Volunteer took the time to educate us on provide stories about historical treasures. Admission price is about $2 a person. Highly recommend. There's a movie that plays to explain history and has an observation deck.

This is a very cool place to learn about the exploration and treasure of Spain! The staff there were super friendly and were excellent tour guides and told me everything about the artifacts in the exhibits. The outside portion was awesome as well! Definitely coming back in the summer!

This museum tells a great story! I loved my visit here with my 3 kids. Lots of artifacts to see. The park ranger we spoke to was very helpful, educational, and I appreciate the time he took to talk to us.

Perhaps the BEST Treasure Museum in all of Florida. A fantastic array of artifacts, treasures, history and the staff provide great info and stories. You may catch a dose of "treasure fever" after leaving this place. Walk outside and take a pic at the wheel and think about what it was in those times. I highly recommend this off-hidden museum that's truly one of kind!

We stopped by this museum and it was a highlight of our trip. I never knew about the shipwrecks and never knew this was why the area is called the “treasure coast”. The staff was incredibly friendly and genuinely excited to share their knowledge and relics. The artifacts and history boards were so interesting and the video played on repeat highly informative. It’s a fun stop and might get you excited to go hunt for nearby treasure.

Always great to visit and share stories about the 1715 Fleet with park employees and fellow 1715 Fleet members that u may run into. Nice displays of artifacts and colonial currency, weapons of the period. Amazing story of shipwreck survival, treasure, and the treasure hunters who found it. Definitely a great place to visit if you are into history shipwrecks pirates and treasure!

Such a lovely museum! The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The museum's collection is well kept and organized, so it's easy to follow the history and inspect various artifacts up close. The video presentation offers great insight about the 1715 fleet, so don't miss it! Overall, very pleasant and makes for a great little outing. Highly recommend to all!

Knowledgeable staff and well done historical exhibits. Low admission price. Sat down to watch their documentary movie for a while. Accessible ramp to a nice beach overlook.

Beautiful set up, very good Information on the 1715 fleet. Speak to "Turtle" that guy is great, super nice and 🙏 welcoming. Drop a lil donation so they can keep that place going for the future.

I absolutely loved this place. The staff and volunteers were out of this world. I learned so much more than I expected, and each step of the way there was someone there (without having to ask) willing to share their knowledge of the 1715 fleet. I will definately be back and I highly suggest a visit. A+++

(Translated by Google) An interesting place for its history and location facing the sea .. A spectacular view and tranquility ... beautiful (Original) Un lugar interesante por su historia y ubicacion frente al mar.. Una vista espectacular y de tranquilidad...hermoso

Nice little history area. Fun scavenger hunt for the kids to do in the artifacts area.

Nice little museum that will teach you some Florida history. The park service employees were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Has a great view of the ocean from the deck. 2 bucks to get in. Deal.

Love the improved lighting at this facility and looking forward to see you some of the new exhibits next time I visit

The employees answered questions and were very knowledgeable. There is a movie that tells a lot about the site and the history of the Spanish ships crashing nearby.

A must visit while in Vero Beach.

Nice little stop to learn all about The Treasure Coast. There’s so much history that I really didn’t know. The staff is very welcoming! It’s a small donation to visit, but worth it. You can spend a good half hour or more there

Loved this place. Employees was very knowledgeable and helpful. If you get a chance to visit here you should

What a fascinating museum about a real-life treasure right off the Florida coast. This is a Florida Park Service-operated museum. It is located about 2 miles south of the Sebastian Inlet on the Ocean side of the road. It has a limited number of parking spots in front of the building. There is a sign out front that describes the story of the ill-fated 1715 fleet of eleven Spanish galleon ships laden with gold, silver, copper, and riches as they were heading back to Spain. This fleet sank along the shore. You enter through a small lobby and pay $4/person. This allows access to a large room on the left. The room has several displays that describe the shipwreck details. There is a 45-minute movie in the room. A door out the back leads to a boardwalk with a water view but no access to the beach. The room and museum displays seem a little dated but the staff makes up for it in their knowledge of the material. This is an excellent way to learn about this part of Florida's history at the place where it actually happened. I think it is worth the stop and finding out about this part of our local history.

Nice museum

It was great. It was only 2$ and had plenty to look at, a sweet historical event and informative video playing in the back, and a cool pirate ship deck view from up top.

Sweet museum for the treasure hunters amongst us. They're working on improving their exhibits but the movie was interesting.

What a great museum! Super friendly staff and great for kids! It was fun to walk out to the beach overlook too and play on the wood pirate ship, too! Thank you for a great time!

Loved this. So much history.

This was a wonderful discovery! The museum features artifacts from an infamous shipwreck in the 1700. Despite being small, we spent over 1 hour there. They also have a scavenger hunt for younger kids, which my 8 year old son loved. I definitely recommend it.

This is a small museum, but it was well worth the trip. The movie is very informative regarding the 1715 Plate Fleet and the salvage operations.

Very nice place. Lots of information. The staff was very nice and helpful with all of my questions. They have an awesome pirate ship over looking the water great picture spot!

Interesting story of Royal wealth plus a tragic hurricane created buried treasure. Add a visit to your to do list.

Very nicely organized museum. So surprised on the treasure history

Very nice. Quiet. We didn't sit through the video presentation. The exhibits are worth the time. The walk to the beach is also good, If a little bit overgrown with Sea grapes.

Very nice,helpful staff,and great education, worth every penny

Good place

A small museum with inexpensive admission fee. Learned some local history.

This place is a real "treasure!" There was much to see. The documentary was well done and very informative. The exhibit had a lot of different items. Some displays had an option to listen to a narrator give additional information not contained in the placards. The observation deck was really cool, ending of in a "pirate ship" overlooking the ocean.

The museum is worth stopping at. We enjoyed looking at all the treasures

If you love the history of the treasure coast this is definitely the place to go.

We learn some history about Spanish treasures

The informational movie is fantastic!! Very interesting!!

Fun museum

See photos from Sebastian Inlet state park...

Part of the Sebastian Inlet State Park and a must see!

Small place with lots of stuff to look at and read

A treasure of a place, very educational and a fun place to tour!

A step back in time to see the early settlers and treasures they brought to florida...very cool

You have to go.

Museum is part of the State Park system. It is easily accessible from the Main Thoughofare A1A, there is some ongoing construction but the signs are visible. Adequate parking including for Handicap accessible Vehicles. They open at 10am. There is a nominal $2.00 entrance fee and I believe it was well worth it. Museum was clean and well staffed with Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Restrooms are available and were clean. A water fountain with a bottle filler is also available along with a small gift shop. Although the museum is not a large venue it has some very nice artifacts and descriptions about the 1715 Spanish Fleet shipwrecks. They also have a 45 minute loop video with seating for about 30. The video was very informative and worth seeing. There is also an outside viewing area overlooking the beach where the shipwrecks to place. If you are in the area it's worth your time. *If you are interested in seeing more about the 1715 shipwrecks and others, there is a Mel Fisher museum nearby and there are discount coupons for the Fisher Museum in the lobby of the Mclarty museum.

A must to go to. Lots of treasure from the 1715 fleet People there are very nice and helpful.

Nice littel stop

Fabulous place History on the treasure of florida. great film.

For two bucks? Best deal in all of Vero. Very friendly staff. Great way to kill an hour or so on a cloudy day!

Museum has history of the treasure coast of Florida. Great history includes a film.

It's a $2 admission charge what you learned quite a bit while you're there very small but a great place to stop

Very informative!

Very interesting, somewhat hidden gem!! Fantastic exhibits share the human history of this site of the 1715 Plate Fleet. If you want to know why they call this The Treasure Coast, this is the museum for you! An absolute bargain at $2/person for admission!! There are multiple diaramas with buttons to push to explain the scene from the historical perspective of someone living there. They also have exhibits of some of the items - actual and replicas - found in the wreckage of ships that sunk over 300 years ago in a hurricane. Amazing explanation of how many people survived, how they lived and tried to salvage treasure on the ships bound for Spain. The movie was done by the History Channel. It is half story of this place and half stories of ancient through modern day treasure hunters. Interesting. I would prefer more emphasis on the historical framework and the people involved including the Ais (indigenous tribe that helped survivors and ultimately died out). When they begin the fundraiser for the new movie, please consider helping them out. Ranger Corey and the volunteers were very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and eager to share. Ranger Corey helped us understand the role of the Ais and the hardships endured by survivors. He is very engaging and has great plans to update the museum to focus more on human history. A great walkway out the back to an overlook of the area where the ships went down and the survivors came ashore. It's easy to imagine the heavy foliage and groundcover they encountered because it's still there! The $2 admission is a bargain. We stayed over three hours, and I plan to go back. You could see it in much less time, but the current movie is 45 minutes, and the monologues that can be played with the dioramas are lengthy. Nice gift shop with books, replica doubloons, and information on turtles in the area. Very reasonable prices.

Great spot to view some history. The exhibits are well done and very informative. Gift shop has some nice trinkets. Also, the documentary film they have playing will make you want to get your metal detector and head out to the shore, it's no wonder they call this the treasure coast.
