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.

Self guided tour of a well maintained station. Artifacts are true to era and some are the original items like a station master's wallet, photographs, desks, telephone, and boats.

We were pleased that it opened at 8am.
