Opening in 1962, it has become a popular spot for the tourists to stop and check out some of the marine life and specimens. With a collection of some 90,000 natural marine specimens this takes a while to fully check out.

"The Museum displays a detailed collection of marine and land shells, sea creatures, corals and sponges from all over the world, as well as a complete 10m long coral reef and an aquarium housing Bass Strait sea life." (visit link)
