We stumbled onto this place and we are glad we did. It's not big and fancy with a huge gift shop and lots of glitz - it's real, interesting, state run and non-profit. It cost a whole $2 to get into the museum - what a deal. The artifacts are great - gives you a feel for the 1715 Spanish... More

Learned a lot about local history. The museum also has a great view of the Atlantic. More

This museum is a state museum and is filled with artifacts from the 1715 Spanish plate fleet wrecks. It is larger than the Mel Fisher museum, but as for me, not filled with as many interesting artifacts. However, both museums should be visited during a trip to the Sebastian area as they go hand-in-hand as Spanish treasure ship museums. This... More

A small but very interesting museum located directly on the Atlantic ocean just south of Sebastian Inlet in Vero Beach/Orchid Island. A true find. I bring all of my friends and family here when they visit. A very enjoyable place for all ages. The kids love hearing about the pirates and treasures found (and all the shipwrecks) off these beaches.... More

There are two treasure museums in Sebastian. This one is run by the Florida State Parks and is part of the Sebastian Inlet State Park - it is out on the island located on route A1A. We felt it was worth having visited and agree fully that one should watch the video. A bit further north on A1A before the... More

It is a very small museum, but the video gave a great background for the history of the area. It was very interesting and really very little expense. Makes you want to go out and buy a metal detector to search for some Spanish gold! More

My husband and I read the review for this museum and decided we would visit it sometime while in Vero Beach. TD 16 storm decided to visit and we decided to go on a rainy day. The museum was small but very interesting. The film is excellent but probably could use a little updating. Very good for the treasure hunter... More

The kids and I had nothing to do yesterday. So we gathered together the family, hopped iinto my minivan, and went to this museum. We got lost along the way, and the museum isn't the neatest. But I made good sandwichez More
