Welcome to the Tathra Wharf Museum - where history meets the sea and every corner tells a story of endurance, community and heritage.
Tathra Wharf, a beacon of history and charm on the Sapphire Coast of NSW, is the sole remaining 19th-century coastal wharf on the eastern seaboard of Australia, offering visitors a fascinating glimpse into the past.
The Tathra Wharf Museum serves as a custodian of the area's maritime heritage. It houses a rich collection of artifacts, photographs and exhibits that narrate the wharf's story and the broader history of the Tathra district.
We hope you enjoy your journey through time at the Tathra Wharf, where the echoes of the past meet the present, and history is preserved for all to discover and cherish.

The museum is open from 10am to 3pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
