The Avila Beach Sea Life Center is excited to announce its name change to The Central Coast Aquarium. The Central Coast Aquarium provides marine science educational programs and provides a public aquarium as a teaching tool for its educational programs and also serves as a valuable community resource.
The very core of our organization is led by a mission to inspire through education, engagement and action. Our staff and volunteers are committed to providing programs that benefit everyone. Aquarium tours, lectures and events all contribute to our ability to provide enriched programs to schools and students across 6 counties. We go beyond the beach and provide hands-on marine science education programs for K-12 teachers and students. Through hands on exhibits, laboratory lessons and ocean excursions the Central Coast Aquarium aims to impact everyone who walks through our doors and positively influence their perspective towards a very important part of the natural world.
Based in Avila Beach, California, the aquarium enhances the visitor experience by offering a fun, hands-on learning opportunity that encourages stewardship of our oceans.
