Take a trip back in time with the help of a soft breeze off the inlet and pristine white sand, against the backdrop of a picturesque, historic Life-Saving Station. The Life-Saving Station has been meticulously restored to its 1905 appearance, complete with diamond-shaped trim.
Located just north of the Indian River Bridge, the station also includes one of the area’s most interesting gift shops.

It's an amazing museum, smallish in size but appropriately priced. An excellent lesson in Atlantic history and the lead-up to the modern Coast Guard.

Excellent museum that starts with a video gives you a brief history of both the station and the history of the life saving service.
The museum is self paced, but utilizes a phone number you call. Most exhibits have a number on it. Tou enter that number into your phone, and the automated system gives you a bit about that particular exhibit. Not really interested in something? Don't put in the number. Interested? Put it in. It's like a self-paced guided tour. The best of both worlds.
Definitely worth the $4 entry.
