Right by the Boardwalk, the Wharf, and the ocean. A futuristic visitors center.

Brand New in 2012. Haven't been there yet but will soon. The displays are supposed to be top notch and interactive.

A free place to explore the wonders of the Marine Sanctuary. Don't miss the 15~ minute documentary.

Come check out the very reasonably priced exploration center for interactive games to learn about the ocean and how to protect Pacific Ocean wildlife.
