Philippe Cousteau Anchor Museum, Maritime museum in Salinas, Spain.

The Philippe Cousteau Anchor Museum displays maritime artifacts and anchors across an open-air setting on La Peñona peninsula near Salinas beach.

The museum features an anchor from the bulk carrier Castillo de Salas, which encountered difficulties near Gijon rocks during 1986.

A ceramic mural illustrates maritime history while six steel sails connected by chains to deck anchors form the Cover of Candles exhibition.

Located at La Peñona, 33405 Salinas, the museum operates under management of Castrillón City Council and offers limited wheelchair access.

The Temple of the Oceans contains a wind rose surrounded by a shell vessel holding water samples from different seas.
