What visitors say
Had a lovely afternoon here - the museum is small but packed with amazing history and examples of small water craft. There was a fantastic exhibit up about the history of surfing that was just exceptional. Highly recommend with lots of interactive components for kids and families.

This is a great museum. There are so many items on display and informative plaques to read. I spent an hour + exploring and enjoying the lookout as well. The café is nice - i got a bag of crisps and a cola so I could sit and enjoy the view on the water. The staff are very friendly. The gift shop was really nice as well. I learned a lot walking around and looking at the displays.

They're are always fabulous exhibitions in the buildings. Talks you can sign up to listen to online. The cafe does wonderful reasonably priced and children's portions as well. Plenty for all the family. The photos show the walk we always do which is out to Pendenis Point and further along to Gllyvase beach.
