This place has extremely limited days/hours of operation, I had to stop by and take advantage while I was in the area. One of the docents, Susan, was lovely, eager to share amusing stories about and the history of different pieces in the museum. Otherwise, it's a self-paced and self-guided tour. Some of the more interesting parts were the model railroad exhibit made up of the beaches, mountains, and buildings along the Pacific Coast Highway, articles about the "surfing Santa" who skydived into a shopping center to put on a show for the kids in 1963 but ended up in the ocean and was saved by surfers, and historical photos of Devil's Slide. There's even a sports room which includes a display of the memories of Sea Bowl. It was nice to see and learn a little bit about the history of this town. Parking was free and easy right next to the little brown church. There's a gift shop too, but I skipped it during my recent visit. With free admission, this museum is definitely woth checking out and won't take long to get through (maybe 30 minutes). read more
