Next, you will visit the Marine Mammal Care Center, a non-profit hospital for marine animals that are stranded on the 70+ miles of beaches from Malibu to Seal Beach due to illness, injury, and malnutrition. MMCC has provided life-saving care for marine animals in need since 1992, with the goal of rehabilitating and releasing them back to their ocean home.
Then you will visit the port, which is a large-scale permanent handmade artisan marketplace. The classically restored 1940′s-era Warehouse No 10 is home to more than 100 individual artists, crafters, and food makers, each presenting their unique handcrafted goods in a vibrant patchwork of shop spaces. After lunch, get set to visit the Maritime Museum.
