This museum is small but very informative. They run a 20 video loop that explains why the area is considered the Treasure Coast. It also tells the story of the sunken Spanish fleet. Artifacts are quite interesting.

Wonderful, small museum.

This was a very nice treasure museum. There are examples of the gold they dug up from the Atocha, and a nice film to watch.

Yes. The film is short and interesting. There's an outdoor beach area in back that they can look at. And there are artifacts and coins in displays to look at.
