The mission of the Central Coast Aquarium nonprofit is to cultivate a community dedicated to ocean stewardship through education, engagement, and action.
Dive into an ocean of discovery as you explore some of the Central Coast’s most iconic marine habitats. Learn about over 75 local species from our passionate volunteer team, and enjoy an oceanfront view of Avila Beach. In addition to permanent exhibits, we also host school programs, community events, science seminars, birthday parties, and weddings.
