While you’re on the docks:

• Stop in at our award-winning floating museum, see restored heritage vessels
• Take the kids to the Sea Life Centre, next to the blue Bill Adair Boathouse where the heritage vessels, C.A. Kirkegaard and Saravan, are moored. Discover sea creatures below the glass floor and explore ocean fascinations in the “touch tanks!”
• Peek into a Purple Martin’s nest using the webcam located left of the Bill Adair entrance
• Before or after your Harbour Tour, try the culinary delights at our Oyster Bay Café!
