A hidden gem. Great staff (volunteers) and very reasonable entry price where under 18’s and carers get in free. A surprisingly good and varied collection from the area and very informative. It isn’t huge but is full of information. There is a lift for those unable to manage the stairs inside. Activity sheets available for kids. Sensory and information back packs can be borrowed from the welcome desk if needed. We were there an hour and, not being a museum lover myself, came out really informed and happy.

This costs £3 to get in. Machine only takes cash or you need to go into the surf shop. Grass parking

Great place for younger kids (8yrs and under is the permitted ages). Safe and contained. Allows even the smallest of children to get used to the feel of water. Able to take a picnic along as there’s grass area that is out of the way from splashed. Swim nappies must be worn by those that need them.
