Porthmadog Maritime Museum sits in the last remaining slate shed on Porthmadog's historic harbour, telling the story of 200 years of local maritime life. Inside you'll find a large collection of artefacts covering the port's development, shipbuilding, the ships themselves and the lives of the seafarers who worked them, alongside a dedicated activity area for children to play and learn. The building has steps to its main door but a wheelchair ramp to the side entrance, with a short internal slope. It suits families and anyone curious about the area's seafaring past. Just half a mile from Porthmadog station and 2.4 miles from Craig Du Beach, it's an easy addition to a stay, with 86 bookable places nearby on BritStays.
