This contemporary museum, which is located 1 South Esplanade, Bongaree QLD 4507 in Apex Park, is in an ideal location overlooking the bay & Pumistone Passage.

The Seaside Museum has a website moretonbay.qld.gov.at that provides information 😀 They have a telephone number (07) 5433 2596.

Admission to this historical museum is free to everyone 😀
