A fascinating journey through the maritime history of Lloret de Mar, housed in an iconic Indianos mansion.
The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 13:30 and from 17:00 to 20:00, and on Sundays from 11:00 to 14:00 (summer hours; check winter schedules). It is located at Passeig de Riumar, 2, Lloret de Mar; it is easily reached on foot from the beach or by local bus. More information is available on the official website or call +34 972 364 557.
General admission costs €5 for adults, €2.50 for children and seniors, and it is free for children under 12 and local residents. You can buy tickets online to avoid queues on the official website.
It is recommended to allow between 45 minutes and 1 hour for a full visit, as the exhibitions are compact but rich in detail. If you use an audio guide, such as those from IAudioguia, you can extend your visit to 1.5 hours and enjoy it even more.
Located in the former stately home of Can Garriga, the museum tells the maritime history of Lloret de Mar from the 18th century onward, focusing on fishing, trade with the Americas, and shipwrecks. It is a cultural treasure that showcases the fishing identity of the Costa Brava.
The best time is spring or autumn to avoid crowds, or summer mornings (10:00-12:00) when there are fewer people and better light for photos. Avoid midday in July and August because of the heat.
The museum has partial accessibility: the ground floor is adapted with a ramp and limited lift access, but some upper rooms are not accessible. Check details on the official website or call ahead for assistance.
Nearby you will find Lloret Beach, the Modernist Cemetery, and the Santa Clotilde Gardens within a 10-minute walk. There is also the Maritime Museum a few kilometres away, making it ideal for a full day on the coast.
Wear comfortable shoes for the interactive exhibitions, download an audio guide from IAudioguia for in-depth explanations, and combine your visit with a walk along the nearby beach. Book in advance during high season and allow extra time for photos.
