McLarty Treasure Museum - Museum in Vero Beach - 13180 North A1A, USA

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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

Worth a visit! Small museum dedicated to the history and artifacts of the Spanish fleet which sank in a hurricane of the shores of Sebastian and south in 1715. Fascinating history, along with ongoing treasure finds, which continue to this day. Personable staff, and very relaxed atmosphere.

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.
