Amazing experience with shells - Their collection of seashells is really amazing. The info provided was incredible. It's definitely worth seeing. I had no idea how many different seashells existed and how valuable they were to the eco system

Stunning collection of shells - Absolutely gorgeous collection of seashells so beautifully presented. As a lifelong shell hunter this was my heaven. Such an interesting and informative display. We just loved it and would recommend anyone visiting the area to go.

So, how interesting can a shell be? - If you have a short attention span this venue could be challenging, several thousand shells beautifully characterised and presented, along with descriptions of there use by various cultures.
Well worth a visit if you’re in the south of the island.

Nice seashell collection - Lots of varieties of seashells from different countries. The tour takes around 20-30 mins but is very rich in information. If you love the sea you like this activity.

Woman was working there was hiding so she could go home early - Absolute disgrace. The lady working there in the afternoon of sunday 4th Feb should be fired!
Last entry was 3pm. We were there at 2:40pm knocking but theyd closed everything. When we looked inside a woman could see us knock but was hiding behind a banner so she didnt have to let us in. Perhaps so she could go home early?
Extremely disappointing. If you go then go early, the woman there certainly will
