The Port MacDonnell & District Maritime Museum in Grant Region, South Australia, offers a unique insight into the maritime history of the area. The museum showcases the stories behind Port MacDonnell, once the state's second-largest trading port. Visitors can learn about the over 30 ill-fated ships that met their end along the rugged local coast, the colony of Little Penguins that dwell on the edge of town, and how Port MacDonnell earned the title of "Australia's Southern Rock Lobster Capital".
The museum is located within the Port MacDonnell Community Complex at 5-7 Charles Street, Port MacDonnell. It is open 7 days a week, except on Christmas Day, Australia Day, ANZAC Day, and Good Friday. Entrance fees are $6 for adults, $2.50 for children, and free for under 5-year-olds, with a family pass costing $15. Annual membership options are also available. In addition to the museum exhibits, guided group tours of the local area can be arranged in conjunction with museum tours. Bookings are essential, and school groups and bus companies are welcome.
