Situated on a survivors’ camp of the ill-fated 1715 Spanish Plate Fleet, the museum features artifacts, displays, and an observation deck that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. An Arts and Entertainment production—The Queen’s Jewels and the 1715 Fleet— is shown, telling of the fleet’s return to Spain when a hurricane struck off the Florida coast nearly 300 years ago. Still today, salvagers work to recover gold, silver, and the "Queen’s jewels" that were lost to the sea and its sandy shores.
It is located on State Road A1A, two miles south of the Sebastian Inlet Bridge. The phone number is 772-589-2147.
