Amazing hands on museum for kids and adults of all ages and it's FREE! Easy to spend a whole day here and still not see it all.

Great views of all the boats heading in and out of port while you sit outside and enjoy good food and drinks in a laid back atmosphere where the kids can run in the sand along the seawall. All seating outside, plan appropriately. We love this place, but you might want to discreetly bring a water bottle of your own, because they do not have tap water at their drink fountain. You have to buy a bottle of water or fountain drink.
