An Amazing Journey Through History!

We had such a fantastic experience here! There’s so much to see and learn, with endless artifacts to explore at every turn. While we didn’t catch the 45-minute video this time, it’s definitely on our list for our next visit—because we will be back!

A great bonus for families: there’s a fun activity for kids, and completing it earns them a special “gold or silver coin”—our 9-year-old absolutely loved it! Most of the display cases come with interactive speaker boxes that give fascinating insights about the exhibits, making everything feel even more alive.

The volunteers truly know their stuff and were incredibly friendly, helping bring the displays to life with their knowledge. Since it’s volunteer-run, I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm their hours.

And don’t miss the outdoor boardwalk! It’s not only beautiful but also lined with informative panels, and there’s even a “pirate ship” lookout that adds an extra touch of adventure.

Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a fun family outing, this place is a hidden gem! And for only $2 entry per person the price can’t be beat!

I am a sucker for a museum; no matter the size. This is a small display of trinkets and baubles from shipwrecks along the Treasure Coast. Essentially a museum nodding to the area’s appellation. It is worth a quick stop if you’re exploring the area, and would like a touch of history along with your travels.

I’ve been wanting to stop here for a few years and glad I finally did! The gentleman at the door was super friendly and it only costs $1 to enter! Check out the 45 minute video and the artifacts. Don’t forget to get your picture outside on the Pirate ship !

Wonderful Florida State Park museum on the Treasure Coast. Staffed by super friendly and informative volunteers and professional park rangers, this museum is a must stop for learning about the fascinating history about the area. Two dollar (cash please!) admission fee. Don't miss the outside beach overlook! Highly recommended! Although a small museum, I suggest at least an hour to ninety minutes to see everything.

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.

Very interesting history and had a lot of fun. Wonder if anyone will find more of the lost treasures from the Spaniards and thier lost voyage. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to explore.

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!
