Have Debbie guide you around. She has impeccable knowledge about all the exhibitions, local history, sea exploration and vessels. There's many real artifacts from from shipwrecks and salvage. It may be a small museum but it's very mighty!
Very interesting articles and write ups about the history of the area and the ships that built it. Entry is by donation.
We visited on a rainy day, but it was still a nice place to visit. It was closed when we visited, but the views surrounding the area were nice.
My kid participated in the 2021 Bullhead Derby held here and caught a massive bullhead...271mm long.......very serene location.
We will come back for sure. Staff is very friendly. Museum is not big but you can find some interesting things here. Also they have craft for kids
